Entering the 2025-26 season,
Seth Trimble already had endeared himself to UNC Basketball fans. Even as the NCAA was setting records for college transfers, Trimble became a modern rarity — a four-year player for the Tar Heels.

The Impact of Henri Veesaar
Henri Veesaar's impact was incredible, because there were times Louisville thought about getting into the paint and had to dribble out. We’ve talked about the plus-minus for Veesaar all year long being vastly superior to everybody else. Same situation vs. Louisville. He was plus-16 when on the court. UNC won by three.

Tomahawk Takeover: Aggressive Seth Trimble Delivers Career-High to Lead Tar Heels
Seth Trimble had plenty of time to think. He was 30 feet past midcourt, and from the closest Louisville defender, the senior guard slowed down as he contemplated what highlight dunk he would finish his breakaway with. One-handed tomahawk? Maybe. Back scratcher? No. "I did the back-scratcher last game," Trimble said. One-handed tomahawk it was. (

Lucas: Legend
It wasn't just
Seth Trimble's 30 points. It wasn't that he led the team in assists. It wasn't that he was a big part of the defensive effort. It wasn't his clutch free throws with 12.3 seconds remaining on a night the Tar Heels desperately needed someone to step up.
