The UNC defense was in shambles in the game against James Madison as the visiting team had a lead of 11 points in the first five minutes. The offense tried hard to take the team out of the deficit but an uncooperative defense ended the game in a loss for the team. In the worst defensive shows of all time, the UNC team gave up 70 points.

UNC head coach Mack Brown says it was "embarrassing" to see his Power Four team lose 70-50 to visiting JMU on Saturday. "Embarrassing day. Shocking day.

"Mack Brown told ESPN on Saturday he’s not resigning and 'will be back at work' Sunday following an embarrassing 70-50 loss to James Madison," ESPN's Chris Low wrote on X. "He said it was an emotional locker room and told the team he blamed himself and would step away if he couldn’t get things straightened out."
