Video: NBA Draft Big Board - Does Nassir Little Have Chance to Go No. 1?

Duke's talented freshmen get all the hype, but the rival North Carolina Tar Heels have their own star in the making. Is Nassir Little good enough to warrant the No. 1 pick in the 2019 NBA Draft? (Sports Illustrated)

Football Practice Facility Delays Are Frustrating Fedora

Larry Fedora has reached a point where he’s stopped asking questions about the indoor practice facility that hasn’t yet been completed. Ground broke in May 2017 and was supposed to be completed by this season's opener at California, but the building isn’t close to being ready, thus the Tar Heels will go two full seasons without having a traditional practice place.

Stephanie Watts returns from 2017 injury, giving UNC women's basketball hope

It's been a long road back for junior Stephanie Watts, but in her first taste of live action since Feb. 16, 2017, she didn’t miss a beat. Though the game wasn't an ACC game — a home exhibition against Carson-Newman which the Tar Heels won 115-74 — Watts imbued the night with something that’s been scarce in recent years for fans of UNC women’s basketball: hope (Daily Tar Heel)

No Panic for Kenny Williams

Amid an 0-for-10 shooting streak to start the year, Kenny Williams never panicked. He knew his shots would fall, at least eventually. After scoring one point across the first two games of the season, Williams finished with 12 in seventh-ranked UNC's 90-72 win over Stanford. He went 4-for-6 from the field, including 2-for-3 on 3-pointers. Nine of his points came in the first half (GoHeels.com)

Ten Takeaways from UNC's First Three Basketball Games

After three games, there is some clarity about the 2018-19 UNC basketball team. Roy Williams has started the same lineup each game, going with freshman point guard Coby White and sophomore big man Garrison Brooks alongside starters Kenny Williams, Luke Maye, and Cameron Johnson. White and Brooks have been productive while room for growth remains. (Inside Carolina)

Despite the win, Roy Williams said UNC's performance was 'not the kind of game we want to play.'

It was good enough for a win, but it wasn’t good enough for Roy Williams. North Carolina shot 49 percent, outrebounded Stanford, had more assists, free throws and fewer turnovers, but the Tar Heels’ 90-72 victory wasn’t close to good enough for the Hall of Fame coach. Williams wants his team to play to a standard, not to a final score, and on Monday night, they didn’t do it. (Winston-Salem Journal)

Tar Heels turn ‘friendly’ matchup into rout

“It’s special to be back here and around coach Williams,? Stanford coach Jerod Haase said. “My respect for coach Williams is off the charts. On the other hand, it was a learning experience for our team on the court.? Even though Stanford was picked to finish near the bottom of the Pac-12, Roy Williams hoped the game would be another meaningful test for the Tar Heels. (Fayetteville Observer)

Familiar foe helps Kenny Williams end scoring slump

There’s something about Stanford that brings out the best in Kenny Williams. And the Cardinal couldn’t have stopped by the Smith Center at a better time for UNC’s senior guard. After going scoreless in the first two games this season, Williams finally broke through for 12 points on 4-of-6 shooting Monday to lead the Tar Heels to a 90-72 victory in their home opener.

Carolina honors Tar Heel veterans

More than 80 people gathered Monday for an annual Veterans Day celebration at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, honoring the men and women who have served in the United States military. The UNC-Chapel Hill Army, Navy and Air Force ROTC units hosted the event, which celebrated the courageous service and sacrifice of alumni veterans. (UNC.edu)

Lucas: Home

It never gets old, and let's hope it never does. Monday was a basketball night in the Smith Center, so by definition: it was a good night. Of course, it wasn't just any night. It was the home opener, which still feels special even in the 16th season of the Roy Williams era. There's still that same pop when Coach comes out of the tunnel and there's still that same buzz when the Tar Heels take the court. (GoHeels.com)

Thoughts from a Walk-On: UNC vs. Stanford

These early season matchups can be difficult to write about, because this year’s team is only in the infancy of finding its identity. It seems like we see a little of everything–some good, some bad, some great, some awful– and can always think “Well, there’s a lot left.” But after a stellar first half and so-so second half, the Tar Heels improve to 3-0 in the Chapel Hill home opener. (Thoughts From a Walk-On)

Roy Williams Critical of UNC's Defensive Effort Against Stanford

On Monday, less than a week after UNC’s season opener, the Hall of Fame head coach checked yet another box with a postgame tirade about his team’s poor defense. (Inside Carolina)

Quick Hitters – UNC vs. Stanford

Cameron Johnson is shooting 71.4 percent...on three-pointers. Johnson has hit 10 of 14 from deep and his shot is so smooth and squared up it looks like it’s going in every time he shoots. The law of averages says he won't maintain that pace, so let’s just enjoy it while it lasts. Additionally, Cam is currently second on the team in rebounding behind only Luke Maye.

Lucas: Rapid Reactions - UNC vs. Stanford
