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. Certainly the ratings tell us that fans in general have moved on and two straight weeks […]
Seth Trimble to undergo surgery after breaking arm on Sunday
Today the University of North Carolina announced that Seth Trimble broke his arm during workouts earlier this afternoon. This news arrives just a couple of days after the Tar Heels took down Kansas in the Dean Smith Center to earn their first win over the Jayhawks since 2002. As of right now the timeline for […]
UNC Football defense earns high marks in Stanford Position Grades
Evaluating a football team always comes down to context. All wins are not As. All losses are not Fs. This exact result against Duke, final score and stats, would be a happier evaluation, certainly, but it would also be much more complimentary. Fact: Stanford stinks. That fact must be taken into consideration. The fact that […]
Davion Gause is the Player of the Game in UNC’s win over Stanford
The offense for Carolina was horrid, to say the least. People were using the word “putrid” to describe the performance that led to a 3-3 score going into halftime. Those three points? They came on a turnover. UNC recovered the football in the shadow of the goal line and they were unable to actually gain […]
Three Takeaways in UNC Football’s win over Stanford
They are not going to be writing books about that first half of football. Two teams with struggles on offense made the defenses look amazing, and for the second week in a row the Tar Heels found themselves without an edge over an opponent who, by the numbers, they should have been leading. In fact, […]
UNC Football wins second straight after holding off Stanford
UNC finally won a home conference game in 2025 with a 20-15 victory over Stanford Saturday evening after rallying for 17 second half points. The Tar Heels were able to come away with the win despite losing the total yards battle 320-253 and only picking up 50 yards on the ground in the game. The […]
