Why did ball not go to Caleb Wilson late? 'I don’t want to speak to that'

Posted Jan 11, 2026
It was what Caleb Wilson didn’t say after getting only two second-half shots that stood out. Asked what the difference was for him when UNC blew nearly all of the 15-point lead it owned with 11:01 left against Wake Forest on Saturday night, he hesitated. "I don’t even want to speak on that," Wilson said. "I don’t think nobody’s defending me differently." (Tar Heel Tribune)
