@UNCMBBStats With Saturday’s loss concluding the 2025-26 regular season, and the ACC Tournament set to begin tomorrow in Charlotte, it's awards season for the league and the rest of the college basketball world, as we inch closer to Selection Sunday. The Tar Heels compiled a respectable 24-7 record in the regular season, going 12-6 in the ACC, earning the #4 seed, and the last double-bye into this year's tournament. During the process of the regular season, Carolina set a new

Tipton Edits On Friday, after learning that Caleb Wilson was officially out for the remainder of the 2025-26 season, the Carolina Basketball program received some positive recruiting news, as they landed the commitment of 2026 three-star combo guard, Malloy Smith, the son of former UNC standout, Kenny “The Jet” Smith. Mally stands at 6-5, and is a product of Mater Dei High School, a school known for producing top-flight QB prospects, including Bryce Young, the QB of the Carol

@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

GoHeels.com It’s the final weekend of the regular season, which means it’s time for the greatest rivalry in sports, North Carolina-Duke, to renew itself tonight in historic Cameron Indoor Stadium, on the campus of Duke University in Durham. Carolina won the first matchup in dramatic fashion, as Seth Trimble knocked down a three-pointer with 0.4 left to play, to give Carolina their only lead in a 71-68 win. Carolina got big games from both Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar, along

Just moments earlier, ESPN and Inside Carolina have both reported and confirmed that Caleb Wilson, UNC’s leading scorer and rebounder, has broken his right thumb and will miss the remainder of his freshman season at North Carolina. Wilson, who has missed the last 6 games for the Tar Heels after fracturing his left hand in a loss at Miami nearly three weeks ago, sustained the injury during a non-contact drill during Thursday’s practice, ahead of tomorrow’s game against Duke.

@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. The Tar Heels were able to overcome a night where they only shot 38% from the field by going 12-27 from behind the arc, led by Luka Bogavac, who had his best game of the season. Bogavac, who has struggled all season lon

@UNCMBBStats Believe it or not, but the final home game of the 2025-26 season has arrived, as Carolina hosts Clemson tonight to close out what has been a spectacular season at home for Carolina Basketball. With the win over Virginia Tech on Saturday, the Tar Heels improved to 17-0 in the Dean Dome, a win tonight would earn the program its first unbeaten season at home since the 2016-17 national championship season and set a new school record for home wins in a single season. 

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. The win over Louisville was highlighted by the best game of Seth Trimble’s career from a scoring perspective, as the senior guard scored 30 points, on 11-16 shooting. After getting down 23-13 early on, Carolina went on an extended 43-17 run to build a 56-40 lead, before going on to win 77-74,

It was a dramatic win for Carolina Basketball last night, as the Tar Heels overcame an early double-digit deficit to beat #24 Louisville, 77-74, to improve to 22-6 and 10-5 in the ACC. The Tar Heels were led by Seth Trimble, who scored a career high 30 points, on 11-16 shooting, including a thunderous dunk in the second half, that made the Smith Center erupt, as Carolina built a 56-40 lead. Carolina’s offense was efficient all night long, shooting 54% from the field, outscori

@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. He had help in the form of Seth Trimble, who scored 13 second-half points, and Luka Bogavac, who also scored in double figures, in the win ov

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. Unfortunately, due to the weather, Davis won’t be able to make it to Chapel Hill for tomorrow night’s game against Louisville, and the program has decided to postpone his halftime ceremony. His jersey has already been raised to the rafters, so yo

@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. Henri Veesaar made his return to the UNC lineup after missing the last two games, and led Carolina with 19 points, on 9-13 shooting, in 26 minutes. He was one of three UNC starters to score in double figures, on a day

@UNCMBBStats After Tuesday’s blowout loss at NC State, the Tar Heels will look to respond on the road later today, at Syracuse, in the second matchup of the season with the Orange. As of right now, Henri Veesaar’s status for the game is unknown, as he was listed as questionable on the availability report. Like Caleb Wilson, Veesaar hasn’t played since the loss to Miami nearly 11 days ago, having missed the Pittsburgh win and the State loss. Prior to the previous two games, Ca

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. This evening, the availability report for tomorrow’s game was officially released, and that’s exactly how Veesaar is listed, as the big man from Estonia will look to play for the first time since the loss to Miami nearly 11 days ago. Carolina has gone 1-1 witho

Jared C. Tilton- Getty Images After the athletic department announced yesterday that it would welcome Mack Brown back to Chapel Hill on Monday night, it was revealed that he won’t be the only big name that will be honored that night. As first reported by Jacob Turner of TarHeel247, the Tar Heels will be sending RJ Davis’ number to the Smith Center rafters on Monday night during the team’s game with the Louisville Cardinals. His number will join the other legends after he earn

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

Despite Hubert Davis stating yesterday that Henri Veesaar had made a serious jump in terms of his health after missing Saturday’s game against Pittsburgh, the UNC big man will not be available for tonight’s game at NC State, a Quad 1 contest, which is the only scheduled matchup of the season between the two programs. That means Carolina will look for big contributions once again from both Jarin Stevenson and Zayden High against a smaller Wolfpack squad. In the win on Saturday

@UNC_Basketball It’s game day for Carolina Basketball, as they are set for the first of two road games this week, with a trip to Raleigh tonight, followed by a road game at Syracuse on Saturday. Carolina won on Saturday at home against Pittsburgh, 79-65, in a game that UNC was without Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar. In the absence of their top two scorers and rebounders, Carolina had four starters score in double figures, led by Seth Trimble and Jarin Stevenson, on the way to

On3 Sports While the Tar Heels will look to earn a big win later tonight on the road at NC State, they secured a win for the future, landing five-star combo guard Dylan Mingo after a long recruiting battle with Penn State, Baylor, Washington, and others. Mingo is ranked as the No. 8 player in the 2026 recruiting class and is considered to be the No. 3 combo-guard and the No. 1 player from the state of New York. He chose Carolina after initially delaying his commitment a few w
