UNC Basketball
Complete coverage of North Carolina Tar Heels Basketball.
Perspectives On UNC's Play vs. NC State
This UNC Basketball team is limited with what it can do. And so if you’re viewing this through a lens that North Carolina is a top five program all time, that’s how we should grade them. But this team is what it is. This team is not a top 10 team. When you have elite talents like
Henri Veesaar and
Caleb Wilson, you can cover up a lot of these problems. (

"His outlook is day-to-day,"
Hubert Davis said of UNC starting center
Henri Veesaar. "Every day, he's getting better in regard to the lower extremities. He's getting better also with his flu. He's making huge strides every day, and every day we'll evaluate and see when he's available to practice. And then when he's able to practice, see when he's able to play." (
