Is tonight’s game bigger for State or Carolina? When the Tar Heels visit PNC Arena to take on NC State at 8 PM, the game is almost a must-win for them, especially after losing to Duke last week. Nothing can make up for that gut-punch, not even winning at Cameron on March 5, but losing […]

No question Carolina handed Wednesday night’s game to gritty Duke, the second straight season that has happened and the third time in the last five years. If the Tar Heels don’t give Austin Rivers a chance to win it in 2012 and blow the big lead in Durham a year ago, there are no four […]

If you’re a numbers geek, you should love looking at the comparable statistics between Carolina and Duke, which in case you have just landed from outer space meet tonight in the Smith Center at 9 p.m. Looking at stats, both team and individual, give most people a migraine; but with these two teams the numbers […]

Even Ol’ Roy could hardly bear to watch. Carolina’s basketball season has been getting wacky lately, but Tuesday night at Boston College takes the cake. It got so frustrating that Roy Williams gave himself the tired signal and watched the rest of the game from the locker room. Williams has had a type of vertigo […]

Let’s walk way out on the plank and say the Tar Heels beat winless (in the ACC) Boston College Saturday to go 8-0, which would lengthen by a long three-pointer Roy Williams’ best conference start at UNC. In our collective euphoria over the position of the No. 1- or No. 2-ranked team in the country […]

The football Tar Heels face a one-game season in 2016. The new college football schedules were released this week, and Carolina looks to have a great chance to repeat as Coastal Division champion.

Unverified both answers and raises important questions. The much-awaited documentary on the UNC academic scandal premiers at the Varsity Theater Friday night in a private showing. Chapelboro obtained an advance copy from cereator and former UNC athletic tutor Bradley Bethel, and for anyone who loves this university, it is a riveting 90-minute watch that is a must-see. It deals […]

Three Clemson football players were sent home before the Orange Bowl national semifinal for failing a drug test. Well, the entire Baylor team should have been tested for speed after running through and past the Tar Heel defense for an embarrassing post-season record of 645 yards on 84 rushing plays. The Baylor Bears are mis-named. TCU […]

When Johnson came to the bench with 16:44 left in the first half of Saturday’s UCLA-Carolina game in the CBS Sports Classic, he had one missed shot, one rebound and one block.
