Avanca.com After securing a clunky win over Radford earlier this week, 89-74, the Tar Heels are back in action at home later tonight, against North Carolina Central. This will be the second game without Seth Trimble, who is sidelined for the next 6-7 weeks with a broken arm. His absence forced Luka Bogavac into the starting lineup, who led UNC in scoring and assists in the win over Radford, and appeared to find his offensive rhythm in the second half. With that in mind, Carol

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

@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. Five players s

Desert News The 2025-26 college basketball season gets underway tonight across the country, with the #25 Tar Heels in action, as they are set to host Central Arkansas from the ASUN, to begin the season. Carolina enters the season with its head coach under a lot of pressure, as Hubert Davis has failed to enjoy sustained success since taking over for Roy Williams, and many believe this is a make-or-break season for him if he wants to be on the sidelines for many years to come.

Chris Seward - AP It wasn’t the prettiest of performances you’ll see from the Tar Heels, but they did enough to earn a 95-53 win last night over Winston-Salem State, in the final exhibition of the preseason, ahead of the 2025-26 regular season, which begins on Monday against Central Arkansas. After Carolina started the game on an extended 15-2 run, it looked like they’d make quick work of the Division II Rams, but WSSU would make the game ugly, and found themselves down just

@UNC_Basketball Tonight, the Tar Heels will play in their final preseason exhibition ahead of the 2025-26 season, which gets started on Monday against Central Arkansas. Last Friday, Carolina lost on the road against #8 BYU, 78-76, in a game that they played without projected starter Luka Bogavac. Freshman Caleb Wilson went toe to toe with BYU’s AJ Dybantsa, totaling a 22-point, 10-rebound, double-double. Seth Trimble added 17 in the loss, but Carolina more than looked the par

KSL News Last night, the Tar Heels traveled to Salt Lake City, Utah, to take on the preseason-ranked #8 BYU Cougars in an exhibition matchup, and ultimately fell short 78-76, in a game that showed a lot of promise for a UNC roster featuring 11 new players. One of those 11 newcomers, Luka Bogavac, was not in uniform, as he awaits clearance from the University after being deemed eligible by the NCAA. With that in mind, Hubert Davis started a bigger lineup, going with Kyan Evans

@UNC_Baksetball For the first time since March, the Tar Heels will take the floor and play a competitive game of basketball, although tonight’s game is technically an exhibition. A few years ago, the NCAA voted to allow schools to play in two exhibitions per preseason, as long as one of the exhibitions benefits a charity foundation. Last year, UNC played at Memphis, in an exhibition that benefited St. Jude’s hospital, and tonight they’ll travel to Salt Lake City, Utah, to tak

Tar Heel Tribune It may have seemed like an Onion headline but, as the university confirmed on Thursday, it is real. The Tar Heels are looking to the Saudi Arabian government and its Public Investment Fund for help to raise money for the football program. As first reported by Pablo Torre and later confirmed by Brendan Marks and Christopher Kamrani of the Athletic, Tar Heel general manager Michael Lombardi took a trip overseas to Saudi Arabia back in mid-August to gauge the in

The Tar Heels sit here in the midst of their second bye week of the 2025 season searching for answers. Following last week’s buzz around possibly moving on from head coach Bill Belichick, there is even a question about how long this experiment may last. With it expected to at least last till the end of the season, it is time to turn the attention back to the current season on the field where the team is struggling mightily. Here’s a look at our grades for each unit on this te
