Bulls guard Coby White building a rhythm in 'track meets'

It was the best workout for Coby White. The Hawks entered the Sunday matinee fifth in pace; the Bulls were second. So White had to tighten up those laces and get ready to run. This was just what he needed. It wasn’t vintage White in the Bulls’ 152-150 victory - well, not the White who averaged 24.5 points after the All-Star break last season - but it was progress.

Tears of Joy Forced Hubert Davis to be Dad and not Coach

UNC waxed East Carolina, 99-51, closing out its nonconference schedule with a 12-1 record. But the three most significant points of the game were UNC's last points of the night. It came off the fingertips of senior walk-on Elijah Davis. Yes, he's the son of UNC's head coach. It was his first basket as a Tar Heel, something his father Hubert Davis did often. (TarHeel247)

Henri Veesaar's Long Game Has Become Legit

The third question posed to UNC freshman forward Caleb Wilson following the Tar Heels' win over East Carolina on Monday would have been quite the surprise a couple of months ago. But not now. "Can we call Henri Veesaar a 3-point marksman now," a reporter asked. Wilson smiled and responded. "I'm telling you, man, he's knocking them down." (TarHeel247)

Video: Locked On Tar Heels - UNC's Caleb Wilson / Henri Veesaar Frontcourt Better Than Imagined

During the preseason, we predicted that UNC's Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar would combine to be the best frontcourt in the ACC. It turns out that take wasn't strong enough. The duo is actually a top 5 frontcourt nationally. And the scary thing is they're just getting started. (View Video)

Tar Heels in pros: Coby White, Harrison Barnes shine; Davis, Ingram, Ryan have big G League games

Calf strains delayed the start of Coby White’s season, but he continues to produce big games, including Tuesday in Atlanta in the Bulls’ fourth straight win. Harrison Barnes had a big game as San Antonio knocked off Oklahoma City ahead of their Christmas Day rematch. In the G League, RJ Davis, Harrison Ingram, and Cormac Ryan had impressive games.

Hubert Davis gives emotional response to his son scoring first points at UNC

In most cases, a three-pointer near the end of a blowout victory might not mean much. On Monday night, the one that Elijah Davis connected on had monumental value to it for Hubert Davis. Walter Davis put together an illustrious career at North Carolina, and Hubert Davis followed with a pretty impressive career in Chapel Hill of his own. (Keeping It Heel)

Caleb Wilson accomplished something that only one other UNC freshman - Phil Ford - has done

Caleb Wilson is very good at basketball. His dominance through his first 13 college games is simply remarkable, as his latest feat puts him in some very rare and elite UNC company. Whenever you're mentioned in the same category as Phil Ford, you know you've done something well. On Monday night, Wilson scored 20+ points for the fifth consecutive game. (Keeping It Heel)
