IC Daily: UNC's Metric Problem as Duke Looms | College Basketball

Inside Carolina's senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley to discuss the aftermath of North Carolina's near collapse against Syracuse and how the Tar Heels face a 'metrics problem' heading into the first Duke game of the season. As Barnes discusses, Carolina's ultimate ranking for seeding purposes in the NCAA Tournament will come from the metrics, not the AP poll, and in losing a 32 point lead in the last ten minutes on Monday, Hubert Davis's team missed a chance to 'out-perform' the numbers. With Duke coming to two on Saturday night, a win becomes all the more important, not for just the fanbase, but for postseason positioning.
