UNC confirmed that Caleb Wilson fractured his left hand during Tuesday’s loss at Miami, but further specifics about the injury or the recovery timeline aren’t known.

And I suspect that’s what we’ll see against Pittsburgh on Saturday. And then it gets difficult. (Inside Carolina)

Those two Tar Heel teams had much loftier ceilings than this season's, but it’s arguable that neither Smith nor Marshall meant as much to their teams as Wilson does. (Chapelboro.com)
