Three keys for North Carolina to beat Georgia Tech

If there's any time for Georgia Tech to have a season-defining moment, Saturday is it. The Yellow Jackets already have one ACC shocker on their schedule, a 78-74 win at NC State on Jan. 17. Georgia Tech has 10 home wins and, with a marquee team like the Tar Heels coming to Atlanta, the game is sold out. Here are three keys to a North Carolina win. (USA Today)

North Carolina vs. Georgia Tech Basketball Preview: Tar Heels Back on the Road

Georgia Tech is 2-6 in league play and tied for last place in the ACC standings. The Yellow Jackets opened ACC play with a close loss at No. 6 Duke (85-79) before defeating Boston College (65-53) at home. Since then, however, Tech has endured a 1-5 stretch with its lone victory, and only Quad 1 win of the season, coming in a 78-74 upset at N.C. State. (Inside Carolina)

Tar Heels use week off to sharpen details, help Henri Veesaar rebound

Even with Henri Veesaar’s growth, Hubert Davis insists UNC’s rebounding issues aren’t about one player. Notre Dame and Virginia have grabbed a combined 34 offensive rebounds in UNC’s past two games, something Davis said "is not sustainable." He emphasized that rebounding must be "a UNC rebounding game," not a Caleb-and-Henri one. (Tar Heel Tribune)

Three storylines to watch as UNC Basketball returns to action at Georgia Tech

No. 16 North Carolina visits Georgia Tech on Saturday at 2 p.m. after nearly a week off following an 85-80 victory at then-No. 14 Virginia. Here are some storylines to consider entering the game. Which UNC will we get Saturday? The Tar Heels have been consistently inconsistent this season, and really, it’s been that way throughout Hubert Davis’ tenure. (USA Today)

The Drake Maye Clip That Hubert Davis Showed to His UNC Team

In the second half of Sunday’s AFC Championship game in Denver — a snow-filled slugfest — New England quarterback Drake Maye turned to offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels and muttered, “It’s hard… good God.” The clip, which surfaced on social media in the days following the Patriots’ eventual victory, struck a chord with Hubert Davis.

Hubert Davis: UNC's Defensive Rebounding Issues 'Not Sustainable'

UNC boasts arguably the most talented frontcourt in the country, with likely NBA Draft first-rounders Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar. The Tar Heels rank third nationally in average height, which raises one of the more peculiar questions surrounding this Carolina bunch. Why does UNC rank eighth in ACC play in defensive rebounding percentage? (Inside Carolina)

Video: IC Podcast - Is Georgia Tech a 'Must Win' for UNC Basketball?

UNC's trips to Atlanta to face Georgia Tech have been adventurous over the years. The Yellow Jackets have given the Tar Heels fits across multiple sports in Georgia. And while the 2026 Tar Heels are, on paper, a much better team that Damon Stoudamire's group, winning is never a given down there. (View Video)

Three Things To Watch: North Carolina Basketball vs. Georgia Tech

In search of a third straight ACC victory, UNC heads to Atlanta Saturday for a date with Georgia Tech. It will be the Tar Heels’ second trip to Atlanta this season, freshman Caleb Wilson’s home town, after knocking off Ohio State in the CBS Sports Classic. After starting the New Year 1-3, a win Saturday would push North Carolina over .500 for the month. (Inside Carolina)

No. 16 UNC at Georgia Tech: TV info, stats, scouting Jackets, keys to game, and notes

Georgia Tech will pressure the basketball and try to speed UNC up. Tar Heel guards must handle ball pressure, limit live-ball turnovers, and initiate offense cleanly. Derek Dixon leads the ACC in assist-to-turnover ratio in league games (4.2), and he must continue to do well there. The Jackets will convert turnovers into transition points to try to flip the game.
