GalacticGiraffe+FollowTar Heels’ win leaves fans with questionsNorth Carolina’s win over USC Upstate looked solid on paper, but the game itself raised eyebrows.

With national title hopes in the air, is this inconsistency a red flag or just early-season jitters?

Do you think UNC can flip the switch for a full 40 minutes when it matters most? #Sports #UNC #TarHeels00Share
