Social media to UNC’s loss against Ole Miss

[ad_1]

Check out how social media viewed the UNC-Ole Miss game Friday.

The North Carolina Tar Heels entered Friday’s NCAA Tournament matchup against Ole Miss with plenty of momentum, thanks to a massive stomping of San Diego State in Tuesday’s First Four matchup.

When the final buzzer sounded from inside the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wis., UNC’s season came to a crashing halt with a 71-64 defeat.

North Carolina (23-14, 13-7 ACC) dug itself in too deep a hole it never climbed out of, trailing Ole Miss (23-11, 10-8 SEC) by 18 points at halftime and 22 in the second half. The Tar Heels staged another second-half comeback, just like they did plenty in the regular season, but failed to take advantage of the Rebels going scoreless for six minutes.

That late cold stretch didn’t matter for Ole Miss, which started Friday’s Round of 64 clash on an 11-2 run. Dre Davis scored the Rebels’ first five points, later finishing with 15. Sean Pedulla shot 50 percent from the field, including a 2-of-4 mark on 3-pointers, later ending his night with a game-high 20 points. Malik Dia only played 18 minutes, but bullied UNC center Ven-Allen Lubin during the first half.

North Carolina shot just 38.1 percent from the field against the Rebels, highlighted by a 5-of-24 mark from the perimeter. RJ Davis (15 points) and Lubin (14) were the only two Tar Heels to finish in double-figures, while Drake Powell was the only Tar Heel to make multiple threes.

Let’s take a look at social media and see reactions after Friday’s game, which ended in utter disappointment for UNC after a tumultuous year.
