The Panthers lost four of their next five ACC games including to eighth-ranked North Carolina and eleventh-ranked Duke.

The only loss during the stretch came at Miami (FL) while they won against NC State and twenty first-ranked Virginia.

They finished the season by winning four of their last six games, with losses coming again to Clemson and to Wake Forest.
