@UNCMBBStats The Tar Heels knew they were going to be without Caleb Wilson on Saturday against Pittsburgh, but it ended up being without Henri Veesaar as well, who was battling the flu and a lower-body injury. Carolina was able to win the game rather easily, 79-65, to improve to 20-5 on the season, and 8-4 in the ACC. Quickly after the game, though, the attention turned to tomorrow’s road game at NC State, which will determine seeding for the ACC tournament, and is the only r

Western Carolina Athletics Following the additions of Kaleb Jackson and Brandon Homady, it appeared that the Tar Heels were done adding guys out of the portal. As we learned on Sunday morning, though, that is not the case. As first reported by Pete Nakos of On3 Sports, the Tar Heels have signed Western Carolina transfer quarterback Taron Dickens out of the portal. He is expected to have two years of eligibility remaining in Chapel Hill. Dickens, 5’11, 180 lbs., is coming off

Bob Donnan- Imagn Images No Caleb Wilson. No Henri Veesaar. No problem. After coming into the game against Pittsburgh without Wilson because of a fracture in his left hand that was revealed earlier in the week, the Tar Heels found out in pregame that they were also going to be without Veesaar due to an illness and a lower-body extremity injury. Without their top two scorers and rebounders, it would have made sense if the Tar Heels had struggled in the game against Pittsburgh,

CBS Sports After losing to Miami on Tuesday night, the Tar Heels are ready to turn the page, as they host Pittsburgh this afternoon in the Smith Center, where Carolina is undefeated this season. The challenge will be moving on without Caleb Wilson, who fractured his left hand in the loss on Tuesday night, leaving Carolina without its leading scorer and rebounder, as Wilson was enjoying the best statistical freshman season we’ve ever seen at North Carolina.  When Carolina offi

@li.r3d6- Instragram/Tremain Hill- Treehouse Photography The importance of the 2026 recruiting class for the Tar Heels can not be understated with where the roster is at and on Thursday, it was revealed that the team has lost two signees from that class. As first reported by Inside Carolina’s Don Callahan earlier today, wide receiver Keeyun Chapman and interior offensive lineman Da’Ron Parks will no longer be a part of the football program after signing with the team in Decem

ESPN After it was reported yesterday by the News & Observer, along with Inside Carolina, and other UNC sites, that freshman Caleb Wilson had suffered a sprained left wrist, the Carolina Basketball program announced earlier this afternoon that Wilson has suffered a fracture in his left hand and will be out for the foreseeable future. The injury occurred during the loss to Miami on Tuesday night, when Wilson left the game for an extended period of time to have his left wrist ta

Jaylynn Nash- Getty Images/David Jensen- Getty Images The Tar Heels don’t have many prospects from this past year’s team that look bound for the NFL, but the two that look like sure bets to at least be with teams in training camps received their combine invites on Wednesday. The NFL released its list of 319 prospects that will attend the 2026 NFL Combine in Indianapolis earlier this morning and the list contained just two Tar Heels in cornerbacks Thaddeus Dixon and Marcus All

@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

Mike Wass- AP Photo When the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks take the field for Super Bowl LX, three former Tar Heels will be a part of the festivities as they hope to close the season out with the ultimate prize, a Lombardi Trophy. For the first time in the history of the Super Bowl, a former Tar Heel will be one of the starting quarterbacks in the game. Drake Maye, who spent two years as a starter at Carolina, may have fallen just short of a regular season MVP, bu

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

Bob Donnan- Imagn Images Well, that was a little too close for comfort wouldn’t you say. After leading by 32 points, the Tar Heels had to hold off a furious late rally from the Syracuse Orange for an 87-77 victory that extended their home win streak to thirteen to start the season. The night started a little sloppy with neither team getting off to a hot start, but it wasn’t long before the bigs started making their presence felt on both sides. For the Tar Heels, it was the co

@shiftteambigd- Instagram After the Tar Heels signed 39 commits in the early signing period, it seemed like they were done in the 2026 recruiting class, but that apparently was not the case. As first reported by Inside Carolina, the Tar Heels have landed a commitment from 2026 3✮ IOL Dujuan Davis after offering him earlier in the day. Davis chooses the Tar Heels over offers from Florida Atlantic, South Florida, Ole Miss, Rutgers and Western Kentucky. Davis, the No. 2387 overa

@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

Grant Halverson- Getty Images The 2026 schedule for the ACC was released on Monday evening, meaning that the Tar Heels 2026 schedule is now final. In what will be an important season for Bill Belichick and his staff, the Tar Heels will face one of the more difficult schedules in the country. Here’s a breakdown of the slate that is on the horizon for this fall. August 29th: vs. TCU For a second straight season, the Tar Heels will open the season with a matchup with the Horned

@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
