Tar Heels Have Heard the Hubert Davis 'Hot Seat' Chatter and Don't Like it

"I hate that people try to blame Hubert for our lapses," Caleb Wilson said. "Our coaches are teaching us the right things. It's all about our effort and playing as hard as we can. Coach can only do so much." Fans emotionally react to losses. The team and its coach got the brunt of that last week. Point guard Derek Dixon also didn't like what was being said. (TarHeel247)

UNC Basketball's NET ranking jumps up after big Quad 1 victory at Virginia

UNC Basketball's fourth Quad 1 victory jumped the Tar Heels’ NET rankings to 23, stabilizing the Tar Heels’ NCAA tournament résumé after two losses in the Bay Area.

Derek Dixon Provides Stability UNC has Needed

Derek Dixon didn't look like a freshman point guard Saturday. Instead, he played with the poise of a veteran when UNC needed it in a raucous environment. Dixon finished with 11 points, seven assists, four rebounds, and just one turnover, posting a game-high plus-22 as No. 22 UNC stormed back from a 16-point deficit to upset No. 14 Virginia, 85-80.

What could have been a one-point Tar Heel lead was suddenly seven with 1:38 to play. UNC's comeback at Virginia required a complete second-half effort from Hubert Davis’ team. But if the Tar Heels continue to gain traction in ACC play, the 9-0, 75-second stretch that delivered Carolina its best win to date may be remembered as a turning point. (Inside Carolina)

After long road home, UNC's Jarin Stevenson delivers signature performance at UVa.

Finally. If Nicole Walker Stevenson had to choose one word to describe what it felt like watching her son, Jarin, take over the final 13 minutes in Charlottesville - a season-high 17 points in the second half, a crucial charge taken, multiple threes - it would be that. Finally. Not in the sense of relief, but because she knew how much work it took to get here. (MSN.com)

Art’s Angle: Big Boost

In improving their ACC record to 4-3, the Tar Heels pulled off the biggest comeback victory by a visiting team at the John Paul Jones Arena, which opened in 2006. It was also Virginia’s first home loss this season and Carolina’s first ACC road win after losing at SMU, Stanford, and Cal. If UNC can build off the dramatic rally, it could be a seasonal savior.
