Hubert Davis' Approach to Offensive Success: 'We’ll Run It Until They Stop It'
How often will
Hubert Davis call the same play over and over in a game if North Carolina is finding success running it? The short answer: "Until they stop it," he quipped. Davis explained on his
Wednesday night radio show that it was a concept he learned when he was playing in the NBA. "I love running plays over and over again if we find success in it." (

Chansky’s Notebook: Free Throw Follies
There was always going to be a drop off after the departure of
R.J. Davis, whose career free throw percentage of 86.1 is a program record. But UNC couldn’t have counted on
Seth Trimble dropping 14 percentage points from 82 percent last season to 68 percent this season. Or that
Henri Veesaar would drop from 68 percent at Arizona to 61 percent at UNC. (

On the “
Hubert Davis Live”
radio show Wednesday night, Davis said
Caleb Wilson’s competitive drive has made managing his recovery a challenge. "He would play tonight, if I would let him. He wants to be out on the court badly. And he’s getting better every day. Have another doctor’s visit a little bit later this week and just reevaluate the timetable." (

The Switch Has Flipped for UNC Basketball
With three games left before March, there should be real optimism. The Tar Heels are 22-6 and beating quality opponents without one of the best players in the country. Just as important, if not more, the depth is improving and gaining confidence. The last few games, this team's ceiling is pretty high. "The sky is the limit for us,"
Derek Dixon said. (

Caleb Wilson's Injury And The All-American Question
This has got to be the best freshman class that I’ve seen in my time covering college basketball. It’s just phenomenal what we’ve seen across the board. There’s the potential for the first 10 picks in the NBA draft to be freshmen. As a member of that group, does being injured hurt
Caleb Wilson’s chances at postseason awards? It’s a delicate question. (

Jackson Watkins' Project of Reflection and Inspiration
The experience, exhilarating as it was, would one day come to an end.
Jackson Watkins knew that, of course, and he understood. That said, Watkins wouldn’t have minded if his two-year stint as an against-all-odds basketball walk-on at the University of North Carolina lasted forever. Suiting up for the Tar Heels, you see, had been his lifelong dream. (

'I'm Definitely At 100%' - Henri Veesaar On His Return To Action, UNC's Next Level
Henri Veesaar: "Sadly had to miss a couple games, but I feel like that helped my overall body to feel better and get rid of the tedious pain in my foot. But I was a little out of shape the last two games because I missed a bit of practice. I feel like now I’m definitely 100%. I’m able to practice, I’m able to play games, playing without any pain, so it feels good." (

Caleb Wilson-Henri Veesaar Tandem Could Take UNC Basketball To All-ACC Heights
No basketball program regularly places two players on the All-ACC first team anymore. (UNC has done it only once since 2012.) In fact, in each of the past five seasons, the five first-team members have represented five different ACC schools. There’s a possibility that will change this year, thanks to forward
Caleb Wilson and center
Henri Veesaar. (
