North Carolina At Chapel Hill

With Thursday comes the latest edition of the InsideCarolina.com On The Beat Live! podcast with host Tommy Ashley joined by the esteemed panel of Greg Barnes, Gregory Hall and Kirstyn Clark to discuss Hubert Davis’ Tar Heels and Mack Brown’s third year foray into the beginnings of spring football practice. The hardtop Heels remain fully entrenched on the NCAA Tournament bubble as they travel to NC State on Saturday before Senior Night in the Smith Center on Monday against Syracuse. With the finale at Duke looming next weekend, are these next two absolute must wins for UNC to get to the Dance? What does the ACC Tournament performance need to look like for the Heels to secure that Field of 68 berth? Next week also marks the start of spring football practice and judging from Brown’s press conference earlier this week, Carolina Football is on notice from the head man that it’s time to put up or get out when it comes to coaches and performances expected. The IC crew discusses all this and much more in the 44th iteration of On the Beat!

Virginia falls to UNC on Senior Night

The North Carolina Tar Heels are rounding into form as crunch time in college basketball approaches. UNC has won 2 in a row, and six of their last eight ball games, and the Heels are getting the job done in different ways. Armando Bacot has been one of the most consistent players in the country, and with 21 double-doubles is closing in on Brice Johnson’s Tar Heels’ record of 23 double-doubles in a season. Caleb Love and RJ Davis have been producing at a very high level recently, and Brady Manek just might be the X-Factor for the team. Carolina has shown that they can play the kind of defense needed to cut down the nets in Brooklyn this year. Enjoy this look at 3 reasons why they can win Hubert Davis an ACC Tournament title in his first season as head coach here.

THI publisher Andrew Jones and basketball recruiting director/analyst David Sisk hit on Caleb Love and Armando Bacot’s recent play, depth, beating bad ACC teams, Brady Manek’s improved play since Dawson Garcia left, look ahead to the postseason and more on the latest Tar Heel Illustrated Podcast.
