CrimsonChameleon+FollowUNC’s historic win comes with a warningNorth Carolina just hit a major milestone with their 500th win at the Dean E. Smith Center, but Coach Hubert Davis isn’t celebrating yet. Even after edging out Wake Forest, Davis called out the team’s shaky defense, saying it’s nowhere near where it needs to be for the rest of the season. The Tar Heels let a 15-point lead nearly slip away, and Wake Forest shot 48% from the field. While the offense is clicking, it’s clear defense is the big concern. Do you think UNC can tighten up and make a real run this year? #Sports #UNC #TarHeels00Share

His energy and leadership are making a real difference for the team, especially as they head deeper into conference play. How important do you think a player like Young is for UNC’s tournament hopes? #Sports #UNC #JaydonYoung00Share
AmberAbyss+FollowUNC edges Wake Forest in wild finishWhat a rollercoaster in Chapel Hill!

How do you feel about the Heels’ ability to close out tight games? #Sports #UNC #TarHeels00Share
AmberAbyss+FollowWhy the Dean Smith Center still mattersUNC just notched its 500th win at the Dean Smith Center, but talk of renovations or even a new arena is heating up.

Aaron Taylor+FollowUNC football’s tight end room just got stackedUNC’s tight end group is looking seriously deep after adding Texas transfer Jordan Washington. He’s a big target at 6’4”, 264 lbs, and still has three years of eligibility left. Washington joins two other recent transfers—Jaxxon Warren from Colorado State and Jelani Thurman from Ohio State—making this one of the most competitive position groups on the roster. With Washington’s SEC experience and the mix of new and returning talent, it’ll be interesting to see how the Tar Heels use all these weapons this season. How do you think this changes UNC’s offense? #Sports #Football #UNC00Share

After a tough season, this is the kind of roster boost Chapel Hill needed. What do you think—will these additions help UNC turn things around? #Sports #Football #UNC00Share
AmberAbyss+FollowUNC edges Wake Forest, but guard play worriesUNC fans left the Smith Center buzzing after a nail-biting 87-84 win over Wake Forest, but there’s a real sense of unease about the Tar Heels’ defense and guard performance.

Wake’s guards torched the Heels for 56 points, exposing cracks that could spell trouble as ACC play heats up. What do you think UNC needs to fix first—defense or guard depth? Let’s hear your take! #Sports #UNC #TarHeels00Share

With so many changes, how do you think this will impact the Tar Heels next season?
