Chansky’s Notebook: Going for 500

Posted Jan 9, 2026
History says that UNC's 500th win in the Smith Center won’t be easy against Wake Forest, who has gone 3-3 in their last six games against Hubert Davis’ teams although each has won on its home court. Wake is better than its 10-6 record overall and dangerous. The Deacs lost one-pointers against top-ranked Michigan and No. 14 Texas Tech. (Chapelboro.com)
