After missing over a month of action, including nine games, senior guard Seth Trimble is set to return to the lineup for tomorrow’s game against Ohio State in the CBS Sports Classic, according to Inside Carolina. Trimble, who suffered an arm injury in a workout after the big Kansas win back in the first week of the season, has been gearing up for his return for the last week, and is finally ready to compete on the court with his teammates, who led UNC to an 8-1 record without

Scott Kinser- Imagn Images On a night where ranked teams around college basketball were being tested by mid-major opponents, the Tar Heels messed around with East Tennessee State for the first half in the Smith Center before running away from the Buccaneers in the second half. The first half looked very similar to what we saw from the team against USC-Upstate, where the Buccaneers were able to get to their spots on the floor and score the ball while also ripping down offensiv

While the focus for Carolina Basketball is on ETSU tonight, the program was busy adding to its schedule for the 2026-27 season, adding a home-and-home with the Georgia Bulldogs out of the SEC. This is a two-game agreement that will be completed with a return trip to Athens for the 2028-29 season. UGA is set to visit Chapel Hill on November 13th of next season, making it the third straight season that UNC will play a marquee non-conference opponent in the first week of the reg

@UNC_Basketball After having to wait six days between the Georgetown win and the USC Upstate win, the Tar Heels are back in action just three days after beating the Spartans, as they host a solid ETSU team tonight in the Smith Center. The win over USC Upstate improved Carolina’s record to 9-1 on the season, the program’s best start since the 2017-18 season, when Carolina would earn a #2 seed in the NCAA Tournament. After a 1-0 week, the Tar Heels find themselves now ranked 12

@UNC_Basketball It wasn’t the best effort we’ve seen from the Tar Heels this season, but it was still good enough to earn an 80-62 win over USC Upstate, on a day where Carolina certainly didn’t play their best. Caleb Wilson led UNC once again, with his ACC-leading 7th double-double of the season, scoring 20 points, and grabbing 11 rebounds. He was 6-7 from the field, with a couple of highlight dunks, in the process. He would’ve had more points had he converted at the foul lin

Bob Donnan- Imagn Images The Tar Heels welcomed the Georgetown Hoyas to Chapel Hill on Sunday afternoon as they looked to build on the momentum they built with a win in Lexington against Kentucky earlier this week. The first half of the game was a back-and-forth affair between the two teams with the Tar Heels closing the half strong to take a 44-39 into the break. In the second half, they would put their foot on the gas, though, starting with the play of the big men and conti

GoHeels.com After starting the season with a five-game homestand, the Tar Heels return to the friendly confines of the Smith Center for three straight games, beginning this afternoon against Georgetown. Earlier this week, Carolina secured a road win at Kentucky, 67-64 in the ACC/SEC Challenge, behind the heroics of freshman Derek Dixon, who scored 5 points in the final minute to help propel Carolina to a win. It was the first road win for UNC against a ranked opponent since w

ESPN.com Looking to bounce back, against a desperate Kentucky team, UNC went on the road, into a hostile Rupp Arena and earned a 67-64 win, in the ACC/SEC Challenge, to give Carolina their first win in Lexington since 2007, and arguably the biggest win since winning at Duke back in March of 2024 to clinch the ACC regular season title. And while Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar both recorded double-doubles, it was freshman Derek Dixon, not even a starter, who came to the rescue,

CBS 17 After having a few days off to regroup after the loss to Michigan State on Thanksgiving night, the Tar Heels return to action tonight, in the ACC/SEC Challenge, as they travel to Kentucky to take on the #18 Wildcats. The loss to Michigan State was the first loss of the season for Carolina, which is 6-1, and is ranked 16th in the AP Poll. Last week was the first time that the Tar Heels played on a neutral floor, and tonight will be the first true road game for Carolina,

WPTF Behind a career night from Henri Veesaar, the Tar Heels got past a feisty St. Bonaventure squad, 85-70, to secure their first start 6-0, since the 2016-17 season, the last time Carolina won the national championship. Many nights early on this season, Caleb Wilson has been the best player for UNC, but last night that title went to Veesaar, who scored a career high 24 points and grabbed a career high 13 rebounds, for the third double-double of his career, all coming at UNC

@UNC_Basketball After a week off, the Tar Heels return to action this evening against St. Bonaventure, in the first of two games in the Fort Myers Tip-Off. The Tar Heels have raced off to a 5-0 start, headlined by a win over Kansas back in the first week of the season, but at the season turns three weeks old, Carolina is set to play their first game away from Chapel Hill this season. Caleb Wilson has exploded onto the national scene, averaging a double-double, at over 20 poin

David Jensen- Getty Images It wasn’t the type of performance coaches or players could be, or should be proud of, but the Tar Heels managed to win 73-61 last night over Navy, to complete a five-game homestand to begin the season, with a perfect record. After the win, the assembled media had to wait nearly 30 minutes to have access to the players, as there was a team meeting called after the game to address the lack of energy, effort, and concentration against an overmatched bu

Sports Illustrated A long homestand to begin the 2025-26 season comes to a close later tonight in the Smith Center, as the #18 Tar Heels will host Navy, in their fifth straight home game to open the season. The five-game homestand is the longest to begin a season since 1918-19, and it features a historical win over Kansas a few weeks ago. The last time Carolina took the floor, they blew out North Carolina Central, 97-53, securing their second 40-point win this season. After t

Scott Kisner - Kisner Imagn Last night, in a sleepy Smith Center, Carolina routed North Carolina Central, 97-53, to improve to 4-0 on the young season, and in the process, secured their second 40-point win of the season. Carolina was paced by double-doubles from both Caleb Wilson (21 points & 13 rebounds) and Henri Veesaar (12 points & 11 rebounds), as UNC’s size overwhelmed the small school from the MEAC. It was a game that saw Carolina shoot 55% from the field, including 39

Scott Kisner - Imagn Images In their first game without senior guard Seth Trimble, Carolina earned a workman-like win over 89-74, in a game that featured way too many foul calls and way too many missed free throws. In his absence, Hubert Davis started Luka Bogavac, giving Carolina four starters at least 6-6 or taller. After another slow start shooting the basketball, Bogavac ended up leading the team in scoring, with 19 points, with 5 assists, and 3 rebounds. Bogavac was one

YardBarker After securing Hubert Davis’s most impressive non-conference win of his coaching career last Friday against Kansas, the Tar Heels return to action tonight at home against Radford, the third of five straight home games to start the 2025-26 season. Some of the good vibes from Friday night have been erased after it was reported on Sunday evening that senior guard Seth Trimble suffered a broken bone in his left forearm and is likely to miss the rest of the non-conferen

Spectrum News Earlier tonight, the Carolina Basketball account reported and confirmed that senior guard Seth Trimble suffered a broken bone in his left forearm during a team workout on Sunday afternoon. This injury occurred just two days after UNC beat Kansas in the Smith Center, in a game in which Trimble scored 17 points in. In a statement released through the program, via GoHeels.com , head coach Hubert Davis said, “ So sad for Seth. He's such a great kid and teammate and

@UNC_Basketball Last night, inside a raucous Dean Dome, the Tar Heels took down the Kansas Jayhawks, in a battle of college basketball heavyweights, giving Carolina their first win over KU since 2002, and giving Hubert Davis arguably his biggest non-conference win of his coaching career. It wasn’t always pretty for Carolina, who actually trailed Kansas 37-29 at the half, after turning it over 10 times, leading to 17 Kansas points, combined with just 3-15 shooting from the out

Bob Sutton - AP Later tonight, in the Smith Center, two of college basketball’s greatest programs will square off as the #25 North Carolina Tar Heels, will host the #19 Kansas Jayhawks, in a return game of a home-and-home series between the two blue bloods of the sport. Kansas topped Carolina in an instant classic last year in Lawrence, in what became the fifth straight time UNC fell to the hands of the Jayhawks, with the previous four matchups coming in the NCAA Tournament,

@UNC_Basketball The Tar Heels opened the 2025-26 season in a big way, earning a 94-54 win over Central Arkansas, in the only tuneup before the showdown with Kansas later this week. Carolina did what it was supposed to do against a team preseason picked to finish in the bottom of the ASUN, and was preseason ranked 346th according to KenPom, but don’t let that overlook how good the new look Tar Heels looked, on their way to their 21st straight season-opening win.
