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,

@UNC_Basketball Seeking their first 7-0 start since their last national championship, the Tar Heels instead were instead tripped up 74-58 by Michigan State, in a game that was closer than the final score, but not as close as it should’ve or could’ve been. Carolina took a 22-15 lead with less than 8 minutes left to play in the first half, which prompted a Tom Izzo timeout. After that timeout, Michigan State responded with a 13-0 run and never looked back, on their way to the w

@UNC_Basketball Thanksgiving may be a football holiday, but college basketball takes center stage today, as two of the most iconic programs in the sport, North Carolina and Michigan State, are prepared to do battle in Fort Myers, Florida, later this afternoon. Both teams are 6-0 and are ranked inside the AP Top 20, including Carolina, which is #16, in the poll. They improved to 6-0 on Tuesday night, with an 85-70 win over St. Bonaventure, behind a career night from Henri Vees

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

Tipton Edits It’s been a long time coming, but after a long wait, Hubert Davis has landed his first commitment in the 2026 recruiting class, in the form of Maximo Adams, a 6-7 forward from California. Adams committed to North Carolina over fellow blue blood Kentucky and Texas, giving Hubert Davis a significant win on the recruiting trail. According to 247Sports, Adams is ranked as the No. 11 player in the 2026 recruiting class and is the No. 5 player from the state of Califor

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

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. 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
