North Carolina hosts Virginia Saturday with an opportunity to pick up a resume-building victory in the hopes of landing an NCAA Tournament bid. Different from the first matchup, Carolina will have Pete Nance and Armando Bacot on the floor. Virginia is vulnerable, coming off a loss at Boston College and struggling with Louisville and Notre Dame. It’s a good Virginia defense but not an ELITE one.
What 2 Watch 4?
1. Can Carolina be 8 points better with Bacot and Nance in the game?
2. Can UNC be patient enough to get the shot they need against Virginia’s sleep-inducing defense, rather than the shot Virginia wants them to take?
3. Will Hubert Davis pull out his surprise from last season and assign Leaky Black to Kihei Clark?
4. Carolina playing with “controlled desperation”
5. Will the Heels utilize the high-low game that Pete Nance effectively ran against Notre Dame?
UNC women suffered a heartbreaking buzzer-beater loss on Senior Night on Thursday despite a valiant effort to knock off the No. 7 team.
Isaac Schade presents the Heels of the Week: on the good side, the various North Carolina coaches; on the bad side, Alabama Basketball and their (mis)handling of the Brandon Miller situation.

Northwestern is rank 21 without Pete Nance. He comes to a preseason number one team an they tank. The Heels should beat Virginia just like a bunch of teams this year. Who does Virginia have that makes you say mmmmm noone . The Heels should steamroll early an take any doubt out.
Being without Pete nance the first time was a net positive, we’ll have to account for that tomorrow too
Been a fan for a long time but not a fan of how hard it’s been to watch lately. Effort in losses are one thing but zero effort every game makes it extra hard.
As a true UNC fan born and raised in NC. Be a fan good or bad times
I want Leaky being the primary ball handler. Caleb and RJ need to be playing off of the ball.
Just curious Isaac, who do you think will be returning next year, how many will exit through portal, and how many will we take from the portal??
Hopefully Nickel will get some decent minutes. His shooting will be needed. Love is good at finding him.
Issac, I didn't see Norte Dame holding UNC to 19 in the first half, so much as I saw UNC shooting really good shots and just missing them. We've beaten ourselves this season more often than not. Just my observation sir. Great show.
Go HEELS.
Patience? Once love get that ball on the break he's throwing up a wild shot. Been doing that all year. Where is the coaching?
