Rob's Takeaways: Ian Jackson's Emergence as No. 1 Option; Late-Game Heroics Could Spark Cadeau

The Tar Heels' offense is transitioning from R.J. Davis as UNC's No. 1 option to RJ and Ian Jackson as 1A and 1B. Ian might even be No. 1. RJ, himself, is transitioning into that role.

Orlando Magic guard Cole Anthony rides waves of bumpy season

To say the start of Cole Anthony‘s fifth season in the NBA has been up and down would be an understatement. Anthony is averaging career-lows of 6.3 points, 2.5 assists, and 2.3 rebounds during just 12.5 minutes in 33 appearances.

RJ Davis Uses 'Gravity' in Different Approach for North Carolina

"Because I'm pulling so many guys (on defense) with me...I'm able to get guys open shots, rather than making it tougher on my game." R.J. Davis' adjustment to sacrifice some of his scoring, while turning toward more reading and playmaking against Notre Dame, left Davis with single-digit points for just the third time in the Tar Heels' last 58 games.

UNC men's basketball moves up in NET rankings but loses Quad 1 win and Quad 1 opportunity

North Carolina’s thrilling 74-73 victory at Notre Dame on Saturday for the Tar Heels’ first Quad-2 victory moved the Tar Heels up to 44 in the NET rankings from 47 after the Louisville loss.

Art’s Angle: Forever Five Seconds

Elliot Cadeau made two shots that will live in the overstocked annals of UNC hoops. The chances of winning a game in the last five seconds when trailing by three points are long under any circumstances. But sinking a 3-pointer from the wing AND getting fouled as he released it, then swishing the free throw to avoid overtime is literally one for the books. (Chapelboro.com)
