Flashbacks To Other Infamous Basketball Late-Season Injuries

UNC forward Caleb Wilson has put together one of the most sensational freshman seasons in the program’s history. Unfortunately for the Tar Heels, Wilson is now front and center in a less desirable category: Infamous Late-Season Injuries To Star Players.

Does One-and-Done Fit in NIL Era?

If there are college basketball players just coming to college to bide their time as a bridge to the NBA, and they’re still drawing a check while they’re doing it, maybe it’s time to move on. Of course, the downside of that is this has been one of the most electric freshman classes I can remember seeing. There are so many good players in the top 10. (Inside Carolina)

The Tables Have Turned Fast For UNC Basketball

UNC never led in a loss at Miami. Two days later, Caleb Wilson was ruled out indefinitely with a fractured left hand. On Saturday, the Tar Heels beat Pittsburgh, the ACC's worst team, without center Henri Veesaar, who was battling the flu and a lower-body injury, likely the Achilles.

Caleb Wilson’s Voice Carries, but UNC Feels His Absence in Loss at NC State

When Caleb Wilson learned of his injury, he had two options. He could watch his teammates play from afar and set his sights on becoming a top-10 NBA draft pick in the summer. Or he could stay involved from the side and lead his team while working to get back on the floor. He chose the latter, and his voice Tuesday was one of the most impactful. (TarHeel247)

Tar Heels Still Awaiting Henri Veesaar's Return to Practice and Games

A UNC spokesman confirmed Wednesday that Henri Veesaar is being held out of practice. Hubert Davis’ comments were notable, considering his remarks earlier in the week suggested Veesaar was nearing a return rather than still being held out of practice. "He’s getting a lot better, today was a huge jump in his improvement," Davis said Monday. (Inside Carolina)

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. (Inside Carolina)

Since 2007, in the past 40 games, and bridging UNC's 2021 transition from Roy Williams to Hubert Davis, the Tar Heels had won a whopping 34 games to the Pack’s measly six. (Chapelboro.com)
