Derek Dixon Shows Flashes Of Potential In First Tar Heel Start

Posted Jan 20, 2026
Derek Dixon‘s approach to his first career start was no different than any other game this season. Perhaps that’s why he acquitted himself well when Hubert Davis handed him the keys to UNC's offense last weekend. "Nothing changes, just be me, be vocal, lead us, start the game and just go out there and hoop," Dixon said after Saturday’s loss at Cal. (Inside Carolina)
