The last two games for UNC have shown both progress and regress. Progress, in a sense that North Carolina beat a Cal team at home in a very workmanlike fashion, the way they needed to. Regress in an abominable loss at home to Stanford on a day in which the Tar Heels didn't turn the ball over, and were not overwhelmed in any statistical category of note. Sean Moran and Sherrell McMillan join Joey Powell to try and explain the inexplicable, and attempt to see a way forward for Carolina hoops.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

For a team trying to dig out of NCAA Tournament bubble purgatory, North Carolina could not afford a slip-up in conference play - especially at home.

North Carolina’s size disadvantage against the visiting SMU Mustangs was proven null and void early and often as the Tar Heels locked up the visitors on the defensive end for most of the night and flashed enough on the offensive end to cruise to the 82-67 win in the Smith Center. The trio of RJ Davis, Ian Jackson and Drake Powell combined for 61 points while the total team effort held SMU to just 33 percent shooting on the defensive end. The Inside Carolina crew of Dewey Burke and host Tommy Ashley break down the positive vibes the win has created for Hubert Davis’s team and what lies ahead in Raleigh this Saturday afternoon.

2025 opened with two conference road matchups for North Carolina, and though the game play and effort may not have been up to the team's own standards, late game heroics from Elliot Cadeau helped UNC earn a win at Notre Dame after the Tar Heels delivered a clunker at Louisville earlier in the week. Seth Trimble's absence and continued offensive struggles were themes from both games. Sean Moran and Sherrell McMillan join Joey Powell to discuss this past week's action, as well as give a brief update on Caleb Wilson and some new 2026 recruiting offers.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Elliot Cadeau’s season has not gone as planned for the sophomore but in five seconds on Saturday afternoon, his ‘and 1’ game winning three was a major confidence boost and perhaps saved North Carolina’s season in the process. Cadeau’s heroics and and Ian Jackson’s 27 points were just enough for the Tar Heels to escape South Bend with a 74-73 win over Notre Dame.

If North Carolina fans expected the 2025 portion of this season to be any different than the end of last year’s part, the Tar Heel collapse over the final five minutes in Louisville provided a stark and bleak look at where this team is heading without a major course correction. The Heels clawed back to trail 70-69, but freshman Drake Powell fouled out and the Cards ran away on a 13-1 run to win 83-70. Inside Carolina’s Rob Harrington joined host Tommy Ashley to discuss what happened and what needs to happen going forward if the postseason tournaments are a possible option.

North Carolina spent the week away from campus since the last episode of the show, but had one last out-of-conference tuneup in the Smith Center on Sunday against Campbell University. Playing without an injured Seth Trimble, North Carolina relied on an aggressive performance from Elliot Cadeau and offensive outbursts by RJ Davis and Ian Jackson to cover up a lackadaisical team defensive performance against the Camels.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

After a grueling schedule thus far produced more losses than the Tar Heels would like, UNC basketball found themselves in a volatile week before the 12 Days of Christmas had even begun.

Ian Jackson showed up in his hometown and showed out to the tune of 24 points, rounding out a breakout week. Sherrell McMillan and Sean Moran join Joey Powell to consider the week's results.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

With perhaps the season on the line in Madison Square Garden, North Carolina finally found a way to finish on top in the end, getting a much needed win, 76-74, over UCLA. The Tar Heels needed all of Ian Jackson’s 24 points and late free throws by RJ Davis to complete the type of comeback that had failed over and over before Saturday.

A month ago, North Carolina football recruiting was floundering. Days ahead of National Signing Day, the Heels lost nearly every top commit and the outlook was dire. Then along came Bill Belichick and a re-affirmation by Bryce Baker and thus a massive U-turn for UNC on the recruiting trail - especially in the transfer portal. Inside Carolina’s Don Callahan joins host Tommy Ashley for a dive into the numbers, the approach and a potential success rate ahead of the holiday season.

Another poor first half, another loss for North Carolina has the 90-84 margin mirrored so many of the Tar Heels’ first ten games of the season thus far. Inside Carolina’s Sherrell McMillan and Tommy Ashley break down the loss and discuss the common themes that Hubert Davis’s team continue to put on tape against strong competition. RJ Davis and Ian Jackson were the highlights with both the vet and the frosh making winning plays, but in the end, the lack of execution on the defensive end and failure to finish out possessions late allowed the 11-0 Florida Gators get out of Charlotte with a win.

North Carolina got exactly what the doctor ordered with a home win over LaSalle this past weekend.

After splitting two home games and North Carolina playing incredibly last week, North Carolina has a week off for exams to rest, heal, and recalibrate. Confidence seemed lacking throughout the lineup. Elliot Cadeau's troubles continued, as the point guard hasn't looked like himself since the Tar Heels played in the Maui invitational. Could the offense be reignited with some personnel shakeups? Sherrell McMillan and Sean Moran join Joey Powell to look back on two really poor performances, and try to surmise where the Tar Heels will turn for some positivity.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

North Carolina looked ragged again on Saturday hosting a Georgia Tech team that was without two major contributors.

Rob Harrington joined host Joey Powell to discuss the Tar Heels inability to create any consistent offense, the continued disconnect on defense, and how Ian Jackson may have earned more minutes with his fearless mindset.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

Alabama came to the Smith Center on Wednesday night and rolled the North Carolina Tar Heels 94-79, notching another win for the SEC over the ACC in the now one-sided early season challenge. UNC’s starting guard trio shot 11-41 collectively while the Tide’s length and athleticism across the court produced easy basket after easy basket on the other end of the floor. The one bright spot for the Heels? Freshman Ian Jackson tossed a career high of 23 points in the losing effort. Dewey Burke joins host Tommy Ashley to break down the disappointing and familiar loss for the Tar Heels.

If one game could sum up the Mack Brown 2.0 era, Saturday night in Kenan Stadium would be it. North Carolina scored late to take an improbable lead and simply could not seal the deal in the end. UNC’s defense, playing without its best player after a questionable hit knocked Kaimon Rucker out of the game in the second quarter, gave up points on all six of State’s second half drives including the game winner negating Omarion Hampton’s 263 yards of total offense (185 on the ground). Brown’s tenure comes to a close with the Heels limping to a 6-6 record with a low level bowl game to be determined. Inside Carolina’s Jason Staples, Buck Sanders and Tommy Ashley break down the game and what lies ahead for the program.

The trend of slow starts continued in the Maui Invitational third place game as Michigan State jumped out to a double digit first half lead on North Carolina and eventually held off the Heels 94-91 in overtime. Hubert Davis’s team could not execute consistently on either end of the floor as six Spartans scored in double figures led by Tre Holloman’s 19. Freshman Drake Powell led Carolina’s scoring with 18 points off the bench. On Inside Carolina’s Postgame show, Rob Harrington and Tommy Ashley break down the defeat and what lies ahead for the now 4-3 Tar Heels.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

While the Auburn Tigers presented a plethora of challenges for North Carolina simply from a matchup standpoint, the Tar Heel effort early was once again the downfall of a team seeking a marquee win on the early season. Johni Broome’s 23 points and 19 rebounds lead Bruce Pearl’s team to the 85-72 win in the Maui semifinal early Wednesday morning. Seth Trimble’s 17 paced Carolina but the lack of inside punch could not offset a poor offensive showing against a tall and athletic Auburn group. Rob Harrington and Dewey Burke join host Tommy Ashley for the Inside Carolina Postgame show to break down the loss.

North Carolina was sluggish at times, but Elliot Cadeau’s performance and another strong second half performance pushed the Tar Heels to an 87-69 win over the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors in Honolulu. Cadeau’s 17 points and four assists to go along with RJ Davis’s team high 18 offset Hawaii’s dominance on the glass as Carolina improves to the 3-1 on the season with a short hop to Maui for a tough three game stretch ahead. Dewey Burke joins host Tommy Ashley for a look at the win and how this team is trending heading forward.

In the end, Kansas’s depth, size and experience proved the difference as the Heels head back to Chapel Hill with a 92-89 defeat.
