Caleb Wilson’s first-half surge steadied Tar Heels, set up 'crazy' night

Posted Feb 8, 2026
With his first Carolina-Duke game slipping away from the Tar Heels, Caleb Wilson wasn’t about to let the Blue Devils coast to victory. He scored 13 points during a key first-half run. "I knew we needed a spark. I’m not a selfish player, so I always try to get my teammates involved. But when my team needed me, and I saw that they did, I just had to go." (Tar Heel Tribune)
