UNC’s Crushing Loss to Ohio State | Durham News

UNC’s worst home loss under Roy Williams came in a brutal 74-49 defeat to Ohio State, as the Tar Heels struggled offensively and were outrebounded badly—especially after halftime. Despite Cole Anthony’s clutch first-half scoring and heroic effort (15 points), UNC couldn’t keep up when it mattered most, while Ohio State’s balanced attack led by Duane Washington Jr.’s 18 points sealed the game. With key players sidelined—including injured freshman Armando Bacot—the Tar Heels’ offense sputtered across the board, dropping below 80 points in all eight games this season—a rarity in decades. The tough stretch continues with a high-stakes matchup against Virginia looming. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
