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

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

@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

@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

@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

Bob Donnan- Imagn Images We have been waiting for an update on Luka Bogavac and on Wednesday, head coach Hubert Davis gave it to us. According to Davis, Bogavac has been cleared to play by the NCAA, but still faces a new challenge when it comes to getting on the court. Per Inside Carolina, Bogavac still must overcome “internal steps” before he is actually able to join the team on the court officially this season. It’s not that he has been admitted to the school; that step was

Sports Illustrated Last week, the ACC held its annual preseason event in Charlotte, where coaches and players met with the assembled media ahead of the 2025-26 season. It’s during that time that the preseason voting takes place, and today the results were released, and they set the bar of expectations for the UNC program from a media perspective going into this season. Despite a roster that features 11 new players, and a coach that is believed to be coaching for his job, the
