Just your annual reminder that there is a group of former Duke players that never won a game against UNC in Cameron Indoor Stadium because of Tyler Hansbrough.
Marcus Paige really scored 8 of Carolina’s final 10 points in the last 1:30 of this game, including the most absurd shot I have ever seen in my life.
No one deserves a national title more than Marcus Paige, and I am still sick he never got one.
North Carolina has 5 national championships, 15 Final Fours, 31 Sweet 16s, 5 NPOYs and 23 ACC regular season titles in the last 50 years.
What are we doing here?
With the new AP Poll out, this Saturday in college basketball will feature 3 top 10 matchups:
#4
Houston at
#8
Kansas
#7
Duke at
#3
North Carolina
#5
Tennessee at
#10
Kentucky
Allen Fieldhouse. Dean Dome. Rupp.
It simply does not get any better than that.
Through 3 seasons under Hubert Davis, his record is 78-31 (72% win %)
From missing the tournament last season, to winning the ACC and earning a 1-seed in the NCAAT the following season is an unbelievable turnaround
He is 100% the right man for the job. His time will come.
Caleb Love and Cormac Ryan are at Wrigley Field for the Cubs game together.
Neither played a second with each other in Chapel Hill.
The Carolina Family runs deep.
RJ Davis and Caleb Love are finalists for the 2024 Jerry West Award which is awarded to the best shooting guard in college basketball.
This award SHOULD go to one of them. They are 2 of the top 3 shooting guards in the sport, and neither of them are 3.
Roy Williams on Marcus Paige during tonight’s sit down:
“Marcus Paige was not exactly thought of as rated as high as everybody else like I thought of him, but gosh was he a great college player. - He invested every single day.”
One of the best to ever wear Carolina Blue.
This one is up there as one of my favorite sets Hubert Davis has drawn up.
Ingram & Bacot set a staggered screen for Davis in the corner - Ingram & Bacot set a baseline staggered screen for Ryan - two guys follow Ryan to the corner - Ingram slips & is wide open under the basket
Drake Maye gets drafted tonight? Here’s his older brother, Luke Maye, delivering one of the greatest shots in UNC basketball history.
Big night for the Maye family tonight 👏
Caleb Love is about to win Pac-12 Player of the Year and I could not be happier for him. Thankful for everything he did as a Tar Heel, but it’s awesome to see him thriving at Arizona
Elliot Cadeau is a game-changer for UNC. His unreal vision and elite finishing ability is SPECIAL. And it’s been awesome to see his aggressiveness on both ends of the floor grow each game.
Nobody in CBB dives for loose balls like Cadeau does and I LOVE it.
North Carolina has won 9 games in a row. An 8 game win streak all with double digit victories over ACC teams.
16-3 overall. 8-0 in the ACC.
This team runs. This team defends. This team is SPECIAL.
Oh, and this team has the best player in college basketball.
This has to be up there as one of the greatest individual tournament runs in Carolina history, if not the best.
C Love was on a different level during this run
RJ Davis has won the Jerry West Award, awarded to the best shooting guard in college basketball, becoming the first Tar Heel to win the award.
Very much deserved 👏
#WhyNot4
RJ Davis in UNC’s two NCAA tournament games:
21.0 PPG
53.6 FG%
50.0 3PT%
83.3 FT%
Unbelievable shooting splits in the first two rounds. Let’s keep it going in LA.

Harrison Ingram had a nice showing today in his first scrimmage at the NBA Draft Combine:
14 PTS (4-7 FG, 3-5 3PT)
4 REBS
3 STLS
His ability to stretch the floor, along with his length and physicality, could allow him to rise up some draft boards.
RJ Davis had a terrific all-around game tonight for
#UNC
against Louisville:
21 PTS (6-12 FG)
4-7 3PT
5-5 FT
6 REBS
6 ASTS
2 STLS
36 MINS
RJ continues to prove he’s the best guard in the country time and time again.
UNC comes in at No. 10 on ESPN’s Way-Too-Early Top 25 rankings list.
In the non-conference they will play:
@
#1
Kansas
#2
Alabama
#21
Florida
#24
UCLA
#3
UConn,
#7
Iowa State, or
#11
Auburn (Maui Invitational)
Another year, another tough non-conference schedule 🔥
Big time portal grab for Hubert Davis and UNC. Cade Tyson is a long, elite shooter and can score off the bounce
Could not be more excited for what he will bring to Chapel Hill next season.
There’s a lot to look forward to with UNC basketball next season, but one in particular that I’m thinking about a lot is the leap from Elliot Cadeau.
Got a feeling that Year 2 Elliot Cadeau is going to be a problem.
Posting a UNC home highlight vs Duke everyday until Saturday 🏀
Harrison Barnes’ vicious slam in the 2011 win over Duke
Also, Carolina-Duke on CBS was so sick
North Carolina plays at Virginia tomorrow?
The last time the Heels won in Charlottesville was in 2012. Also when John Henson decided to put a man through the earth with this MONSTER poster.
