What a difference a year makes Tar Heel fans. 9 months ago North Carolina was cutting the nets are Ford Field in Detroit celebrating NCAA Title number 5, the 2nd under Roy Williams' watch.Now it's mid-January 2010 and the Heels are in a world of hurt. North Carolina has lost 3 in a row in the ACC, 4 of the last 5. Are Tar Heel fans having Matt Doherty flashbacks?
Who knew that a loss to College of Charleston would start a Carolina collapse. Wednesday night's 82-69 loss to Wake Forest at the Smith Center was a cold splash of reality, the Heels just aren't that good.
"We're extremely disappointed, and we're extremely frustrated." North Carolina head coach Roy Williams said after the game. "It's something we haven't been through, something we're not enjoying going through."

Last place is something Tar Heel fans don't like either but look at the ACC Standings. North Carolina is next to last a half game ahead of Miami.
Heading into the toughest road grind of the season at this low point is really bad timing for North Carolina. The Tar Heels take the short drive to Raleigh Saturday to battle NC State where the RBC Center will be rocking. Did you see the Wolfpack's upset of Duke the same night.
Then the biggest surprise in the ACC, Virginia, comes to the Smith Center and I wouldn't be shock if the Cavaliers won that one.
After that it's road trips to Virginia Tech (not looking good) and Maryland (looking even worse.)
Blue Heaven isn't such a wonderful place.
