Rece Verhoff is UNC’s Player of the Game in an ugly loss to Wake Forest
Carolina’s 28-12 loss to Wake Forest was no surprise to those who didn’t buy into the turnaround hype after the Tar Heels beat bad teams in consecutive weeks, but UNC’s performance on both sides of the ball was poor even by this season’s standards. Defensively, Carolina allowed 414 yards, the second-most Wake Forest has put […]
Three to Watch as UNC Basketball faces Navy
The hype train for this UNC Basketball season seems to keep getting stronger. Everyone will agree the game against Radford wasn’t great, and yet “wasn’t great” still resulted in a 15-point win. You could argue a lot of factors our them—the first game without Seth Trimble, the letdown factor of the big win against Kansas—but […]
Three takeaways from UNC Football’s frustrating loss to Wake Forest
UNC went to Wake Forest hoping to reach .500 both for the season and in conference play. Wake Forest on paper awaited with the best defense UNC faces this year but one of the worst offenses. “Worst offense” isn’t allowed because Syracuse tried a walk-on, true freshman lacrosse player at QB, and nothing can really […]
UNC failed to find the end zone in their road loss to Wake Forest
After facing inferior competition back-to-back weeks, the Tar Heels ran into the brick wall that is Wake Forest and lost the game 28-12. Their loss gives UNC a 4-6 record for the season, and a 2-4 record in the ACC. The start of the game really set the stage for the rest of the evening. […]
Carolina Football seeks first in-state ACC win against Wake Forest
The Tar Heels begin their three game in-state rivalry stand today against Wake Forest in Winston-Salem. This was truly a diabolical schedule that the ACC constructed for UNC, but given the fact that this was also one of the easiest schedules in the conference this season, it makes sense that they wanted to add some […]
Caleb Wilson earns another Player of the Game as UNC rolls NCCU
Carolina’s 44-point win over NC Central wasn’t particularly memorable, but it did give us another chance to see one of college basketball’s fastest-rising stars put on a show. After an off night (by his standards) against Radford on Tuesday, Caleb Wilson nearly put up a double-double in the first half on Friday, amassing 17 points […]
Three takeaways from UNC’s blowout win over NCCU
Last night, UNC dominated North Carolina Central in order to improve to 4-0. The game had a lot more of a flow than the game against Radford as far as the foul call situation goes, but the Eagles did their best to slow the Heels down with their zone defense. While they did just that […]
UNC vs. Wake Forest: How to Watch
Welcome to the 112th meeting between the North Carolina Tar Heels and Wake Forest Demon Deacons. On October 18, 1888, the two teams met for the first time on the gridiron. Wake Forest College defeated UNC 6-4 in Raleigh. The Gold and Black won two of the next three meetings, but Wake Forest relinquished the […]
UNC Basketball improves to 4-0 with win over NC Central
UNC stayed perfect so far this season with a 97-53 win over NC Central Friday night in Chapel Hill. Carolina really turned on the jets in the second half, scoring 58 points after halftime to secure the comfortable victory. Caleb Wilson was very good once again, leading the team in both points and rebounds. The […]
The Tar Heels look to improve to 4-0 against NC Central
Whoever is in charge of scheduling ACC basketball games decided that North Carolina needed a 9 PM game against NC Central on a Friday night. It almost certainly had something to do with Duke playing at 7 PM, which really shouldn’t matter in the grand scheme of things. Regardless, it is what it is and […]
2026 Five-star small forward Maximo Adams commits to UNC
Hubert Davis received some huge news before tonight’s game against North Carolina Central: five-star 2026 prospect Maximo Adams announced his commitment to UNC. He is the first commit in the 2026 class, and also put an end to a 10-month commitment drought that Davis had been dealing with. Adams is a 6’7 small forward that […]
UNC vs Wake Forest: What Do the Numbers Portend?
After two straight weeks of nearly nailing the final score, last week was a whiff. The 3rd quarter went largely according to plan, but the offense didn’t get off the bus until halftime. Then, the defense took most of the fourth quarter off. NFL coaching! Improvement! Whatever you say. Coulda-woulda-shoulda been a convincing Tar Heel […]
How to Watch: UNC Basketball vs. NC Central
The 2025-26 college basketball season has gone pretty well for the North Carolina Tar Heel men so far, with the notable exception of Seth Trimble’s injury. While the most recent game against Radford left them with some things to work on, they’re 3-0 to this point, with one massive win over Kansas. Tonight, they’ll look […]
Three keys to Saturday’s game between UNC Football and Wake Forest
The Tar Heels face the rest of the Big Four to close out the season. The North Carolina gauntlet makes its first stop in Winston-Salem in what is being billed as a defensive battle. Wake Forest earned bowl eligibility last week, so the Demon Deacons are simply focused on ending a four-game losing streak to […]
UNC Basketball looks to stay perfect at home as they face NC Central
Carolina survived its first game without Seth Trimble, pulling away from a feisty Radford team for an 89-74 win. There were some bumpy moments in the game; Jarin Stevenson briefly left to get checked for an injury while Caleb Wilson spent parts of the game in foul trouble. The Heels ran cold from long range […]
UNC must take care of the ball against Wake Forest
It was another game that wasn’t the prettiest, but UNC football did come away with a second-straight win over the weekend as they took down Stanford. With their consecutive victories, the Tar Heels have clawed their way back to 4-5 after, for a while, it looked like Bill Belichick’s first season was going to end […]
Three Things to Watch as UNC Basketball takes on N.C. Central
The Tar Heels came back to Earth a little bit on Tuesday night against Radford, fighting through a sloppy, heavily-whistled game to come out with a 15-point win. They’ll hope their next game against a mid-major program goes a little more smoothly as they host friend of the program Levelle Moton and his N.C. Central […]
Three Takeaways from UNC’s win over Radford
Last night’s game between the Tar Heels and the Highlanders was a game for both teams to learn a lot of lessons from. For UNC specifically, the biggest lesson for them to learn is how to overcome new forms of adversity. This game lacked Seth Trimble’s presence, we saw Caleb Wilson commit three fouls in […]
UNC Basketball shakes off slow start in win over Radford
Coming off a big win against Kansas that must have felt like taking the weight of the world off the program’s shoulders, UNC was probably ripe for a sleepy letdown game. The Tar Heels definitely missed the presence of Seth Trimble but they did enough to keep it rolling with an 89-74 win against Radford […]
UNC look to extend undefeated streak without Seth Trimble
The North Carolina Tar Heels are just moments away from facing off against Radford in their third game of the regular season. The Heels hope to keep their undefeated streak alive despite losing Seth Trimble to a broken arm. Luka Bogavac will likely slide into the starting lineup, so we will see what he is […]

UNC men move up to #18 in AP Top 25 rankings
Last week, the 2025-26 college basketball season got going, and the North Carolina Tar Heels are off to a pretty good start. On the men’s side of things, after an easy win over Central Arkansas, Carolina put up a massive second half to beat Kansas in one of the most high profile games of the […]
How to Watch: UNC Basketball vs. Radford
There’s nothing quite like ruining the vibes of an outstanding early season win over a Blue Blood like injury news. Not even 48 hours after the Tar Heels had finished putting away the Jayhawks, UNC announced that Seth Trimble had injured his forearm during practice on Sunday, and it would require surgery. While a timeline […]
Opening odds for UNC Football’s in-state rivalry game vs. Wake Forest
Despite a lack of improvement on the offensive side of the ball, the Tar Heels have are suddenly on a two-game win streak after taking down Stanford this past Saturday. The Cardinal struggled against the Heels’ defense for most of the night, and it wasn’t until the fourth quarter that they finally started to make […]
UNC Football vs. Stanford: Winners, Losers, & Honorable Mentions
If you’re still reading this, thank you. Between the disappointment of how this season has gone and the excitement that has exploded over basketball, you’d be forgiven for not really caring at this point about the football team’s performance.
