The Tar Heels enter tonight’s game having suffered back-to-back losses after a 5-1 start without Caleb Wilson, who is sidelined for the remainder of the season, after breaking his thumb in a freak injury while dunking the basketball.  The two-game losing streak is

Despite having his freshman season cut short because of a fractured wrist injury, followed by a broken thumb, Caleb Wilson earned All-American honors from the Associated Press, meaning he’ll become the 54th Tar Heel to have his jersey honored in the rafters at the Smith Center. At the time of his injury, Wilson led UNC in points and rebounds, and during his absence, his assists per game average now leads Carolina too. Wilson is the most decorated UNC freshman from a statistic

@UNCMBBStats It’s been five years since the Tar Heels last took the court, but that’s set to change later today, as Carolina begins ACC Tournament play tonight against Clemson. The Tar Heels secured a double-bye in the ACC Tournament after going 24-7 in the regular season, going 12-6 in the league,  with wins over Duke and Virginia, the top two seeds at this year’s tournament.

@UNCMBBStats After a more than competitive first half, the Tar Heels lost contact with Duke in the second half, falling in the regular season finale 76-61, to finish the regular season at 24-7, and 12-6 in the ACC. Without Caleb Wilson, Carolina played a more competitive first half last night than they did back in the matchup in Chapel Hill, only trailing 36-34 at half. After two early threes to start the second half, Carolina only trailed 41-40, and it looked like we were in

@UNC_Basketball Inside a jam-packed Smith Center, the Tar Heels set a new school record for most home wins in a single season, completing a perfect 18-0 campaign at home, after taking down Clemson 67-63 on Senior Night, to improve to 24-6, and 12-5 in the ACC.

Bogavac, who has struggled all season lon

Bob Donnan- Imagn Images The Tar Heels entered yesterday’s game against Virginia Tech with a chance to remain undefeated in the Smith Center this season and control their own destiny in the fight to get the double bye in the ACC Tournament and while it may not have been easy, they were able to do just that. The Tar Heels got off to a slow start defensively, but that was in large part due to the turnover issues that cropped up once again. The team turned the ball over eight ti

@UNCMBBStats After outlasting Louisville on Monday night, the Tar Heels are back in action this evening at home against Virginia Tech, as the final homestand of the season moves forward.

@UNC_Basketball After Saturday’s road win at Syracuse, it’s a quick turnaround for Carolina Basketball, as they host Louisville tonight in a pivotal matchup in the ACC. In the win on Saturday, Carolina welcomed back Henri Veesaar, who had missed the last two games, and the big man from Estonia, lead UNC with 19 points, on 9-13 shooting.

On Friday night, it was reported and confirmed by Carolina Basketball that former guard RJ Davis would be honored at halftime, as his jersey would be raised to the Smith Center rafters, after a decorated 5-year career in Chapel Hill.

@UNCMBBStats Looking to bounce back after Tuesday’s blowout defeat at NC State, the Tar Heels went on the road and beat Syracuse 77-64, to improve to 21-6 on the season, and 9-5 in the ACC, keeping their hopes of earning a double-bye in the ACC Tournament alive.

GoHeels.com When Hubert Davis met with the media on Friday afternoon, he confirmed that Henri Veesaar would be a limited participant in practice, and that he was officially questionable for Saturday’s game at Syracuse.

ESPN It was a disappointing night for Carolina Basketball on Tuesday, as the Tar Heels went to Raleigh and lost to NC State 82-58, in a game that wasn’t even that close if we’re being honest. Now the Tar Heels were once again without Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar, but that’s no excuse for the lack of fight, which drew the ire of Hubert Davis in the postgame press conferences. Carolina was able to mask not having their top two scorers on Saturday against Pitt, scoring 79 poin
