Chansky’s Notebook: A Long Time Coming

Someone who was born the last time North Carolina and Georgetown met in men’s basketball would be a college freshman today. That's hard to believe, isn’t it? The Tar Heels and Hoyas are inextricably linked in college basketball lore, but Sunday’s meeting in the Smith Center is the first game between the two since the 2007 Elite Eight in New Jersey.

Carolina Basketball has been welcome fun for Tar Heel fans

From Fargo to Chapel Hill, Jake Schaffner Brings Midwest Grit to UNC Baseball

If Jake Schaffner took anything away from his two years playing baseball at North Dakota State, it was that his coach, Tyler Oakes, wanted his players to be Bison. Why?

UNC women's basketball starts out hot at No. 2 Texas but fizzles with season-high turnover disparity

The Carolina defense that generated so many turnovers through nine games couldn’t ignite the transition game against No. 2 Texas.

UNC led by seven early but faced its largest deficits of the season in a 79-64 loss. (Tar Heel Tribune)

If didn't gain another inch this season, he still would have been worth every penny of the $3 million the Cowboys spent on him for the 2025 campaign. Except he will.
