The North Carolina Tar Heels suffered another loss last night, and their nightmare season keeps getting scarier.  This time they lost against their fierce rival Duke 64-54.  Carolina shot a pathetic 35%, a season low, and it was their lowest point total under current coach Roy Williams.

Roy Williams is irate on how the Tar Heels are playing this year.

They have shot poorly all year long ,and they have also turned the ball over way too much.  They fell to 13-11 and just 2-7 in conference. Carolina has lost eight of ten and four in a row.

Duke was lead by Jon Scheyer who poured in 24. Duke is now 20-4 and 8-2 in conference.  Duke was bigger up front  and used that to advantage with second chance opportunities.

The defending National Champions and preseason Top five will have to likely win their conference tournament just to get invited to the dance.  It has been a colossally disappointing season thus far for the Tar Heels and they would never imagined they are fighting for their tournament lives.

Beyond the losing, it is the way they have lost.  There have been too many blowout losses and embarrassing defeats.  The fans of Chapel Hill are not used to this.  Coach Williams and the team are in a state of shock.  Williams does not know what to do at this point and has even questioned his techniques that have been successful throughout  his coaching career.

Carolina is likely looking at a NIT bid unless they have a amazing turnaround.  Their season is in real jeopardy.
