Soft Heels must toughen up

Posted Jan 12, 2009
One way or another, North Carolina's basketball season was defined Sunday night, and that's not to say Wake Forest isn't the best team in the college gym. It's entirely possible, at this point, that the Deacons are just flat-out, plain better than the Tar Heels. Certainly, that conclusion is there to be drawn from Wake's emphatic 92-89 win in Joel Coliseum. What is certain is the Tar Heels are a far cry from the monolithic power that almost everyone envisioned before the season. (Raleigh News & Observer)
