A huge news week (and a half) since the last episode.

David touches on the Wake Forest, Duke, Virginia Tech, and Syracuse games, whines about people who whine about officiating, gives his thoughts on the All-ACC teams, and finds the positives that come from not having an NCAA Tournament this season.

David discusses the wins over the NC State and the Orange, and whines over semantics.

Plus he dives into Carolina's (lack of) success while he travels, looks ahead to Senior Night against Wake Forest, and updates the status of his dream ACC Tournament Buzzer Beater Bracket Revenge Tour (TM).

A brief recap of the Louisville game, complete with a Sports Night Says It Better Than Me segment courtesy of Jimmy Dykes. Then a little bit of crystal ball gazing regarding the matchup with NCSU.

But the highlight of the show is definitely a potential ACC Tournament bracket that would provide UNC with nothing but match-ups against teams that handed them last second Ls this season.

David decides not to break down any of the aspects of the Wake Forest, Virginia, or Notre Dame games, and instead gives his feelings on the season to-date. Plus a return of the Hark the Sound feature and probably the best Wine and Cheese Whine of the Week of the season.

David spends about as much time reminiscing about the '95 Carolina-Duke classic as he does re-living Saturday's tragic addition to the rivalry.

He whines about the Heels' lack of buzzer beaters against the Blue Devils and looks ahead at what remains for Carolina this season.

Upon further review, David is still frustrated with the foul called on Brandon Robinson at the end of the Boston College game. And also with Cole taking a contested three at the end of the game. Turns out he's just frustrated by the end of the Boston College game.

Then a retroactive AND follow up Wine and Cheese Whine of the Week (it'll make sense when you hear it). Plus a look at the FSU game and the path ahead for the Heels.

David delves into the two overtime loss to Virginia Tech before moving on to happier topics, such as the wins over Miami and NC State. He also shares his thoughts on split screens (spoiler alert: he does not like them).

A Sports Night Says it Better Than Me segment to open the show would be a great way to get things started if not for the bad news the clip references.

David covers some low-lights of the Pitt game, complete with depressing shooting statistics, then moves on to somewhat happier topics.

A Wine and Cheese Whine of the Week about officiating reviews, Dear Rameses makes its return with an NCAA Tournament themed question, and we re-visit the "Roy Williams believes in fouling up 3" proclamation. Plus a quick look ahead and the upcoming schedule.

WARNING: Everything in this episode is sad. Nothing in it is happy. Listen at your own risk.

Hark the Sound reminds us just how good December was for the Tar Heels, despite how we felt at the time. Then a breakdown of the breakdown in the final two minutes of regulation against Clemson. Afterward, a hodge podge of negative news, ranging from CB McGrath's firing to Brandon Robinson's car accident. Finally, a Wine and Cheese Whine of the Week about the college football national championship.

In the process of trying to do a quick recap of the GT game and move on, David gets all riled up and winds up spending half of the episode rehashing what went wrong with Carolina Basketball this Saturday.

The mood only improves slightly when the next 17 games are analyzed to determine the likelihood of an NCAA Tournament berth. Plus a Wine and Cheese Whine of the Week calls out the ACC basketball schedule to start the new year, Vince Carter plays an NBA game in four different decades (!!!), and a look at Carolina's seeding by the last digit of the year.

If this doesn't cheer you up...well, it's probably not going to cheer you up.
