@UNC_Basketball After winning the biggest game of the season last Saturday, the Tar Heels couldn’t avoid the letdown game, losing to Miami 75-66 last night, to see their five-game win streak come to an end, as Miami led from start to finish. After a high-scoring first half, both teams struggled to put the ball in the basket, as Carolina scored 26 second-half points, on 26% shooting from the field, including going 1-14 from behind the arc, as UNC finished the game going 2-12 f

@UNCMBBStats After Saturday’s big win over Duke, the Tar Heels have to come off that emotional high and get ready to play a very good Miami tonight in Coral Gables, looking to extend their winning streak to six games. The win over Duke was by far the most important win of the season, as well as the most emotional, as Carolina secured their first ever buzzer-beater in the history of the storied rivalry, and for as much worry as you have in the game before the Duke, the same co

Grant Halverson - Getty Images For a rivalry matchup that had just about everything to offer going into last night’s game, what it did not have was a UNC buzzer-beater against Duke, but that changed in a big way last night, as senior guard Seth Trimble knocked in a three with 0.4 left on the clock to beat Duke 71-68. The 0.4 seconds led was the only time on the clock that Carolina led, after trailing by as many as 13 in the first half and 12 at halftime. They trailed by 9 at

@UNCMBB As the second half of the ACC season is set to begin, it does with the first of two matchups between North Carolina and Duke, as the greatest rivalry in sports is ready to write another chapter in a legendary story. The Tar Heels enter tonight’s matchup riding a four-game winning streak after a win over Syracuse earlier this week, giving Carolina a respectable 18-4 record, including being 6-3 in the ACC. But Duke enters as the team with the better record, as the Blue

@UNCMBBStats After dispatching Georgia Tech 91-75 on Saturday, the Tar Heels are back in action later tonight, as they host Syracuse, in the first of two home games this week at the Smith Center. After going 0-2 out west back in the middle of January, Carolina has won three straight games, to get to 17-4 on the season, and 5-3 in the ACC, with the schedule set to heat up over the back half of the season, the team is in position to compete for a top-4 seed in the ACC Tournamen

Colin Hubbard - AP It was another high-scoring affair for Carolina Basketball, who raced past Georgia Tech, 91-75 on the road, to secure a third straight win, and improve to 17-4 on the season, and 5-3 in the ACC, as they near the midway point of conference play. With the 91 points today, Carolina has scored 85 points or more in 5 of their last 6 games, and it’s crossed the 90-point threshold in 3 of the last 5 contests, a big reason why it owns the nation’s #2 offense in Jan

@UNCMBBStats After having a week off, the Tar Heels return to action this afternoon, in Atlanta, against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Carolina last played last Saturday and won at Virginia, erasing a 16-point deficit in the process, to reinstate belief in this team. The win at Virginia not only dramatically changed Carolina’s chances to compete to finish top four in the ACC, but it also moved Carolina’s projected seed line in the NCAA Tournament as well.  Georgia Tech ent

It’s the final week of January, and we’re just seven Sundays away from the 2026 NCAA Tournament field being selected, and that means that projections for the Big Dance are starting to heat up. In just about every game moving forward, you’re going to hear something or see a graphic from that specific network about their bracketology projections, so if you’re not ready to see Joe Lunardi on your TV screen, you might want to start preparing. The Tar Heels are enjoying their last

@UNCMBBStats With a big second half, the Tar Heels secured their biggest win of the ACC season, taking down Virginia, 85-80, to improve to 16-4 and 4-3 in the ACC. Carolina trailed by as many as 16 points late in the first half, but made it a 9-point game, with two late threes in the first half. That set the scene for the best second half that Carolina has played since the Kansas win, outscoring the Cavaliers, 51-37 in the final 20 minutes, to secure their second straight win

@UNCMBBStats After blowing out Notre Dame at home on Wednesday, the Tar Heels are on the road today, as they are set to take on #14 Virginia in a top-25 matchup. The win over Notre Dame snapped a two-game losing streak and got Carolina back to .500 in the ACC. Now the challenge is to take that level of play on the road, where the Tar Heels are just 1-3 so far this season, if they have any hopes of getting back into the ACC regular season race.  Ryan Odom has done as good a jo

MSN After going 0-2 last week while on the West Coast, the Tar Heels are back home tonight, as they host Notre Dame, looking to get back to .500 in ACC play. The two losses last week dropped Carolina from 14th to 22nd in the AP Poll, and they fell in the all-important NET rankings after suffering two more Quad 1 defeats. They are hoping that getting back to the East Coast, and the Smith Center, where the team is 11-0 this season, will help get the team closer to playing to th

@UNCMBBStats Looking to bounce back after a midweek loss to Stanford, the Tar Heels suffered their second straight defeat, and their third loss in four games, with an 84-78 loss to California, to fall to 14-4 on the season, 2-3 in the ACC, and 3-4 in Quad 1 games. Carolina, which trailed 54-37 at the half and by as much as 20 in the second half, did make it a two-possession game late in the second half, but poor shot selection denied them a chance at completing the comeback,

@UNC_Basketball After losing to Stanford on Wednesday night, the Tar Heels will look to respond later today against California to avoid going 0-2 on this West Coast road trip. Carolina’s defense plagued them for a third straight game on Wednesday night, allowing Stanford to score 95 points, om 57% shooting from the field, 57% shooting from behind the arc on 16 makes, the second most makes against UNC in program history. In their last three games, UNC has given up 44 made thre

CBS 17 Despite leading for 38 minutes last night, the Tar Heels lost at Stanford, 95-90, to fall to 14-3 on the season, and 2-2 in the ACC, with both losses coming away from Chapel Hill. Carolina built a double-digit lead in both the first and the second half, but it didn’t matter, as sensational Ebuka Okorie had arguably his best game of his young college career, scoring 36 points and handing out 9 assists. Stanford shot 57% from the field, including 57% from behind the arc,

ESPN For the first time since they joined the ACC, the Tar Heels have to travel to California to take on both Stanford and California, in a rare West Coast road trip during conference play, which is a result of conference expansion. Last year, Carolina hosted ACC newcomers, SMU, Stanford, and Cal, with return trips taking place this year, and will be completed by the end of the week. The last time we saw the Tar Heels, they held on to beat Wake Forest, 87-84, to improve to 14

Cory Knowlton- Getty Images The Tar Heels picked up their 500th win in Smith Center, but it was far from as easy as it should have been against Wake Forest. The Tar Heels got off to a fast start, racing out to a 14-4 lead early in the game, causing Wake to call timeout. Behind big halves from their two big men, the Tar Heels were able to control the first half despite allowing eight threes and turning the ball over eight times and led the game 49-38 at the half. After both te

UNCMBBStats After a week off, the Tar Heels return to action later today, as they host Wake Forest, looking to bounce back from the loss to SMU last Saturday, which dropped the team’s record to 13-2 overall, 1-1 in the ACC, and 17th in the AP Poll. The loss to SMU wasn’t expected, but so wasn’t the defensive performance in that game, as Carolina allowed a season high 97 points on 60% shooting from the field, 53% shooting from behind the arc, making it the second-worst defensi

Sam Hodde- Getty Images The Tar Heels came into Saturday’s second road game of the entire season with a chance to match the 14-1 start that the team got off to in the 2008-09 season and instead will leave Dallas with their most disappointing performance of the season and a second loss. It started early for the Tar Heels with some crucial turnovers that led to easy finishes at the basket for SMU and gave the Mustangs an early nine point lead. The Tar Heels were able to settle

ESPN.com After a sluggish start, the Tar Heels were able to flex their muscle and took down Florida State, 79-66 on Tuesday night in the Smith Center, to improve to 13-1 on the season, and 1-0 in ACC play. It was the first game in 8 days for the Tar Heels, and the 1-11 shooting start would suggest they were sluggish, but once they found their footing, there was no denying who the better team was. Caleb Wilson was sensational once again, posting a 22-point, 16-rebound, double-

Chris Seward - AP After an eight-day layoff, the Tar Heels return to action tonight in the Smith Center, as they host Florida State in their ACC opener. The last time Carolina was on the court, they were seen dispatching ECU in the final non-conference game of the season, improving to their first 12-1 start since the 2008-09 national championship season.
