Let's face it. With Bacot and Nance out, the Heels did pretty well to lose this game by essentially 2 possessions. During the game the team went through high and low stretches, so they had their chances. I'll chalk this one up to a character building game.
Historically it was one of the slowest games we've played as a program, with 141 total possessions. In the last 975 games, only 43 have been slower. UNC's offense was historically discombobulated, too. They were in the 10th percentile in assists per field goal, and took a sky-high 45% of their shots from 3. They've only done that 44 times since 1996.
So was it the defense or the offense? We want to hold teams below 0.85 points per possession, and UVA scored 0.93. Offensively we only scored 0.82, 0.13 from our goal of 0.95. so the offense was further off of our goal than was the defense. Add those two together, and you get a -0.2117 Smith Factor, a 15th percentile-level performance.
