Let’s face it, Wednesday’s 85-67 loss to a very average Texas team shows that the UNC Tar Heels just aren’t very good – at least right now.

If this needs to be a three-point shooting team, as experts expected at the first of the season, then the Heels are going to have to do better than 15.8 percent, which is what they got against Texas. They shot just three of 19.

As Coach Roy Williams said, there were a lot of silly mistakes. There were unforced turnovers, forced shots, ill-advised passes, strange fouls and just lazy play.

“It was a comedy of errors but it wasn’t too blankety blank funny,” he said.

The jury has been out on this Tar Heels team with its previous losses against good Indiana and Butler teams. But this Texas team was not only beatable – after all, they lost to Chaminade – but they didn’t play lights out against the Tar Heels in this game. The Longhorns took a slew of bad shots and finished shooting only 40 percent from the field. Of course Carolina shot only 31 percent.
