After an embarrassing collapse like the one UNC had on Thursday night in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, it's understandable to see everyone outraged by the outcome.

However, this isn't a one time instance during the Hubert Davis era: this is becoming more common, and it's extremely concerning.

Now a member of the media, UNC legend Tyler Hansbrough unfortunately had to be on The Field of 68's livestream following his alma mater's choke job. As we've grown to know from "Psycho T," he's not going to sugar coat anything: he will flat-out tell you how it is.

That's exactly what he did when asked about the Tar Heels loss to VCU.

Hansbrough doesn't hold back

Mad, frustrated, angry, upset, devastated, shocked.

Any of those words (along with many others) could describe how UNC fans feel right now.

However, Hansbrough isn't surprised by the collapse, as his statement is an eye-popping one that provides a ton of insight as to how he views the current state of the UNC basketball program.

"I'm not stunned. I've seen this story."

Hansbrough relates to Tar Heel faithful

Arguably the most competitive individual to ever wear the Carolina Blue uniform, Hansbrough must be disgusted with the current state of the UNC basketball program.

The Hubert Davis era has been highlighted by a ton of ups and downs, and it feels like there are more downs than ups. It just feels like the university has settled for mediocrity within its historic basketball program, something that Tar Heel fans (and Hansbrough alike) want to avoid at all cost.

Pathetic UNC meltdown vs VCU has to be the final straw for Hubert Davis

You can sense the frustration from Hansbrough, but it's telling to hear him admit that he's not stunned by another letdown.

The world of college athletics has changed a lot since Hansbrough played at North Carolina, and it sadly seems the Tar Heels have also shifted in mentality when it comes to being among the upper echelon of college basketball.
