UNC doomed by turnovers and rebounding in loss to Duke
UNC came into Saturday night’s game against Duke as big underdogs with the news that Caleb Wilson would miss the rest of the season with a broken thumb. The Tar Heels gave fans a glimmer of hope that they’d find a way to stay competitive before a 24-2 run absolutely buried them on their way […]
UNC Basketball vs. Duke: Live Discussion
Well, this is going to suck. It isn’t going to suck because of what could or happen during today’s game. This isn’t going to suck because UNC is playing in Cameron Indoor Stadium, where the Cameron Crazies are just as blue and loud as ever. No, this is going to suck because we will not […]
UNC Women handle the Hokies, move on to face Louisville in the ACC semis
Third-seeded UNC met the sixth seed Virginia Tech in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals yesterday evening. The prior matchup of these two teams was a defensive struggle that went to OT, with UNC prevailing 66-63 and blocking two late three-point attempts to preserve the victory. Would the rematch follow suit? In the first quarter, UNC struggled […]
UNC vs. Duke: How to Watch
The regular season concludes with the North Carolina Tar Heels traveling just up the road to Durham to face the top-ranked Duke Blue Devils. UNC is seeking a regular season sweep of the ACC regular season champions. In their first meeting on February 7 in the Smith Center, Carolina edged out Duke 71-68 in an […]
How is Tar Heel nation feeling after the news of Caleb Wilson’s injury?
Carolina vs Duke in basketball is usually the biggest story of UNC sports. Yet today, we have something of a (very unfortunate) rarity: a bigger story than the rematch of the best rivalry in college basketball. I suspect that for most UNC fans, the news that Caleb Wilson has broken his thumb and will miss […]
UNC vs. Virginia Tech: ACC Women’s Tournament Preview & Live Discussion
UNC plays Virginia Tech tonight in the ACC tournament quarterfinals. More on that below. UNC women’s basketball team finished the season on a 13-1 tear. The one loss was at Duke, a game that the Blue Devils shot 21 free throws to the Tar Heels’ zero in a game that ended with a four point […]
UNC Baseball opens ACC play against a new-look Virginia
March has sprung, the Mid-Atlantic is getting absolutely gorgeous weather, and conference play in baseball is upon us. Last year, the Diamond Heels were rudely awakened in their conference-opening series against Stanford, with Jason DeCaro getting shellacked and the to-that-point-undefeated Heels ultimately losing a series against a team that ended up being pretty bad. They’ll […]
UNC’s Caleb Wilson to miss the rest of the season with broken thumb
UNC’s star freshman, Caleb Wilson, looked like he might be on the verge of a return as the team closed out the regular season and headed into tournament play. Unfortunately, fate had other ideas. Wilson returned to individual workouts and broke his right thumb in practice on Thursday and will need surgery. He will miss […]
Can UNC pull off the season sweep of Duke?
This Saturday, UNC will wrap up their regular season with a run of the mill game, as they prepare for the postseason. Just kidding, obviously the season finale means it’s time for the Tar Heels second meeting of the season against Duke. This year, it’s the Blue Devils’ turn to host the season-ending clash, as […]
What is an acceptable outcome for the UNC vs. Duke game without Caleb Wilson?
At the time of writing this article, we still do not know if we will see Caleb Wilson this weekend against Duke. Hubert Davis said that Wilson would be doing a little more during practice yesterday, but he didn’t really specify how much. He seems to be optimistic that his star is close to returning, […]
ACC Men’s Basketball Power Rankings: Week 10
As we enter the final week of ACC play, a lot of things have solidified. Seeding is coming into picture, as well as who is and isn’t making the ACC Tournament. Team’s placements on the bubble or safely in the tournament are similarly becoming clearer, at least for most — for some it is just […]
UNC vs. Duke: Three Things to Watch
The North Carolina Tar Heels made history on Tuesday, finishing a perfect 18-0 at home this season. Those 18 home wins are the most in 116 seasons of Carolina basketball — but the job is far from over. The last game of the ACC schedule is UNC’s annual trip to Durham. Duke is looking to […]
What’s your favorite UNC win at Cameron?
This weekend, the UNC men’s basketball team will make the famously short trip down to the road to Durham for round two of the annual rivalry clash against Duke. A couple weeks ago in Chapel Hill, the Tar Heels came away with a memorable victory, as a big comeback was capped off by Seth Trimble’s […]
UNC secures double-bye in the ACC Tournament after Miami’s win over SMU
The North Carolina Tar Heels have officially locked up a double-bye in the ACC Tournament thanks to Miami’s win over SMU tonight. The talking heads were quite busy after the Heels beat Clemson last night in the Dean Dome, but the Hurricanes made sure to keep the math situation nice and simple by taking down […]
UNC Baseball sets a program record in a tune-up series before conference play
The Diamond Heels seem to have found a formula for their non-conference series scheduling. This season and last, they have opened the season against a decent Power Four-level team, played their annual series against ECU, and then hosted a mid-major from the northeastern part of the country. Last year, that mid-major was Stony Brook of […]
Luka Bogavac shoots his way to Player of the game for UNC
The Tar Heels did something no other team has ever done at North Carolina, go 18-0 at home. The 18 home wins are the most ever and this team becomes the first since the National Champion 2016-17 team to go undefeated at home, joining a long history of teams behind them. So who deserves Player […]
Three takeaways from UNC’s close win over Clemson
Things were a little uncomfortable in the Dean Smith Center last night. Clemson fought hard against UNC and had the lead for almost 12 minutes, but in the end the Heels proved to be the tougher team and won 67-63. With last night’s win, the Heels improved to 12-5 in ACC play and are still […]
What is your go-to game food?
It’s a “good eats” edition this morning. No, not the TV show, although yes, I was a big fan. We’ve been mining our memories and opinions on Tar Heel teams, coaches, and players. Time to switch it up a little bit? I used to travel a lot on business. The realities of customer budget cycles […]
UNC caps undefeated season at home with win over Clemson
North Carolina finished their season at the Dean Dome a perfect 18-0 with their 67-63 win over Clemson on Tuesday night. The win also put the Tar Heels one step closer to securing a double bye in the ACC Tournament next week. Clemson closed the first half on a 7-0 run that put them up […]
UNC Basketball vs. Clemson: Live Discussion
It’s Senior Night at the Dean Dome, and the Tar Heels are just moments away from facing off against Clemson in the final home game of the 2025-26 season. UNC hopes to finish the regular season with a perfect home record, while Clemson hopes to finish their final games with a couple more wins after […]
Both UNC teams move up in AP Top 25 to start March
We have reached the month of March. Over the course of the next couple weeks, all of the conferences will crown their regular season and tournament champions, the NCAA Tournament fields will be announced, then narrowed down to four before the respective Final Fours in April. That being said, it’s still only March 3rd. We […]
How to watch UNC Basketball take on Clemson
Tonight’s game is important, for multiple reasons. We’ve talked about that in the preview and in the three things to watch, but truly there are some things that transcend just playing a basketball game. Things above seeding in the ACC Tournament and how things may fall in the NCAA Tournament. In this case that is […]
Which former UNC senior or class deserves some extra attention?
“Yeah it’s Senior Night and the game is right. / Oh yeah, it’s Senior Night, oh, what a night.” Those may not be the actual lyrics, but it’s Senior Night, so close enough. I have always admired the way that North Carolina treats Senior Night — starting with Dean Smith and continuing with Roy Williams […]
UNC Women’s Basketball closes out their regular season with revenge against #12 Duke
On February 15th, then-#21 UNC went to Durham and outplayed then-#11 Duke, to that point undefeated in ACC play, for about 37 out of 40 game minutes, but those 3 minutes, a 13-0 Duke run to end the first half, proved to be too much to overcome in a game where the Heels didn’t shoot […]
UNC hosts Clemson on Senior Night, looking for double bye
After the disastrous trip out west for this UNC Basketball team, if you had said with one week to go the Tar Heels had a realistic shot at getting a top four seed in the ACC Tournament, it’s very likely no one would have believed you. Yet, thanks to how the Tar Heels have rallied […]
