Inside Carolina: Fedora is Out

Maybe it has to be freezing outside for the Tar Heels to get hot inside. That was certainly the case on a cold and snowy Saturday, when Carolina played perhaps its best game of the season and, at long last, shot the lights out in the second half of a 93-81 win over Virginia. […]

Well… I think I got my answer to my last question. If we are down by one with ten seconds left, Reggie Bullock is coming off three screens to get a look! It’s great to see that Coach Williams and the staff have weathered the slow start and gotten the heels on track even with […]

Looks like it’s another Year of Living Dangerously. In other words, expending our energy rooting against Duke. We’ve had these seasons before (i.e., 2010), although rarely. When our own basketball team is so young or weak (literally) or mediocre that it is not a safe use of our emotions to pull FOR the Tar […]

It had to be Kansas. Kansas. Kansas. Roy Williams may be over the heartbreak and heartache his leaving Lawrence caused in 2003, but it’s just getting worse with me. The tweets, emails and blog posts are already out there, claiming that Bill Self has built a better program at KU than ol’ Roy has at […]

I have a confession to make. I wasn’t standing in the risers for the most recent basketball game against Maryland Shocking, I know. Because I recently started doing statistical work for the JV basketball team, I have been unable to stand in line outside the Dean Dome for hours prior to games in order to […]

Amidst the chaos that has become college athletics, Carolina defeated Maryland Saturday in truly a tale of two halves. The Tar Heels played perhaps their best 20 minutes of basketball to begin the game and ended with perhaps their worst. Depending on when they officially bolt for the Big 10 and the 2014 basketball schedule, […]

This one stuck to the script. Virginia’s slow pace and physicality on defense gave UNC’s young players the trouble most analysts predicted as UNC tallied their lowest total of the season, attempted only 50 field goals (20 less than their average), shot 37% from the field and generally looked lost. But it would be wrong […]

It’s not unusual for Chapel Hill to be abuzz this time of year over several local sports teams. It is, however, weird that Carolina Basketball is not one of them. UNC field hockey played for yet another national championship two weeks ago, losing to Princeton 3-2. The Tar Heel men’s soccer team is a solid […]

Let’s compare the Carolina basketball team that opens the season tonight to the last two that followed mass NBA exoduses. Are the 2012-13 Tar Heels younger and/or weaker than the 2006 and 2010 teams?   The 2006 team that lost the top seven players off the ’05 NCAA champions had one returnee – David Noel […]

After the final Tar Heel football game of the season ended in a loss to NC State, today’s edition of “Inside Carolina” discusses the breaking news that coach Larry Fedora will not be returning next season. From the buyout of his contract to what’s next for the Tar Heels, it’s getting covered here.
