Clippers like Austin Rivers, but they miss Reggie BullockReggie Bullock continued to mostly sit on the Phoenix bench Sunday, stuck at the bottom of the Suns' depth chart at small forward.

College Baseball Preview Capsules: #17 North CarolinaLast season was never going to be easy for North Carolina. After a trip to Omaha, the draft sliced UNC’s lineup in half and pilfered two-thirds of its weekend rotation. Still, head coach Mike Fox managed to navigate his young Tar Heels to a regional. And with the overwhelming majority of that group back this year, UNC will surely take a step forward this season...right? (Baseball America)
FCS Opponents Place Premium on 7 Wins for UNCNorth Carolina’s 2015 football schedule includes two FCS opponents, which could potentially bring recently updated NCAA bowl eligibility requirements into play if the Tar Heels finish the regular season with a 6-6 record for the third consecutive season.

But despite the 15 stitches that were still in his lip on Monday night, and in honor of his grandfather, Britt gave his best performance of the year. (GoHeels.com)

Analyzing UNC's 2015 Football ScheduleUNC's farthest road game is at Pittsburgh followed by Atlanta, then Blacksburg. UNC won't leave the state of North Carolina until October 3rd and play every game within a 500 miles radius of Chapel Hill. Unlike the past two seasons, there is just one bye week in 2015. Unfortunately for UNC is comes after the Heels play Georgia Tech instead of before which is ideal when facing the triple-option. (Tar Heel Blog)
Lucas: Rapid Schedule ReactionsThe opener against South Carolina is big for all kinds of reasons—a marquee matchup against an SEC opponent, a likely national television appearance, and a chance to make a dent in a series the Gamecocks have controlled lately.

Titus’s Top 12: UNC a more athletic, more uptempo, less bulky version of ArizonaMarcus Paige is back to playing like an All-American. Kennedy Meeks has been great all year. J.P. Tokoto has expanded his game so much that calling him a mere “dunker” is a huge slap in the face. Brice Johnson is one of the most underrated players in college basketball. And Justin Jackson is the best freshman in the nation who never gets mentioned in “best freshmen” discussions. (Grantland)
