Last night’s game was the latest in a series of losses to North Carolina that
went down to the wire. Each time the Hokies have arguably outplayed the Tar
Heels, but they’ve fallen in the final minutes for various reasons. I’m getting
tired of seeing the same story play out nearly every time the teams play.

With about 10 minutes left in the game, I texted a buddy that it really
stinks to watch a game that you are winning while somehow knowing in the back of
your mind that it would slip away at the end. That’s what has happened in all of
the close losses to Carolina that came down to the final seconds.

Each of those games are very similar to each other, though they all have
their own unique story.
