So, I know we can pretty much all agree that this year, at least by Carolina Basketball standards, has been bad and difficult to watch at times. My question though, if you were to compare this to an average Carolina basketball season, how poor would you say this year has been?
I ask because even though I've grown up a North Carolina fan, this was the first year I really started caring about the team and watching all of their games. I think it was partially because of how amazing their improbable run was last year, but it's safe to say that at this point, the team hasn't lived up to its expectations. I don't have much knowledge of previous years' teams except for some memories of the 2016 and 2017 championship games, partially because I'm so young (I'll be a freshman at UNC next year if that is any reference to my age).
I know there have been bad teams in recent years such as the 2019-2020 team, and I also think we were spoiled last year with the miracle run in March despite the team's underwhelming regular season, but those, along with this year, seem to be relatively standout bad seasons when compared to UNC's program history.
I wonder if this season is really that bad or if it just seems like it is because of recency bias and the expectations we all had for this team coming into the year. What do you all think?
