Syracuse makes second-half charge on UNC but still leaves Chapel Hill with double-digit loss

Brent Axe chats live following SU basketball's 87-77 loss to North Carolina in Chapel Hill, N.C. If you want to look on the bright side, SU trailed by 32 points at one point of the game (72-40) and fought to trim the deficit down to six points before eventually losing by 10. But, uh, they still trailed by 32 points. That tends to weight more heavily in the conversation. Axe discussed with fans how the mirage of ball movement represented in SU's in over Notre Dame faded as the Orange had just 7 assists against the Tar Heels. SU is now 0-8 all-time in Chapel Hill.
