Caleb Wilson accomplished something that only one other UNC freshman - Phil Ford - has done

Caleb Wilson is very good at basketball. His dominance through his first 13 college games is simply remarkable, as his latest feat puts him in some very rare and elite UNC company.

Chansky’s Notebook: Performative

East Carolina, literally and figuratively, is not in the Tar Heels’ league. The Pirates walked the plank of UNC's most performative victory that gave the joyful crowd a prelude to Christmas with the 99-51 win.
