Two shocking stats perfectly capture the inconsistency of the Hubert Davis era

Let's face it: the Hubert Davis era has been nothing more than a roller coaster. Now five years into his tenure as the head coach of the UNC basketball program, the common trends that have been there essentially since day one have never gone away. If those were good trends, you'd love to hear that, but these types of trends are absolutely mind-boggling to think about. (Keeping It Heel)

UNC Basketball prepares for March Madness after 'unacceptable' ACC Tournament

A senior co-captain, Elijah Davis knows the runway is running out for UNC, which lost its first game in the ACC Tournament for the first time in 12 years. Rocking a long-sleeved 'Lock It In' shirt for 2026 March Madness, the son of UNC Basketball coach Hubert Davis is hopeful the Tar Heels can "lock it in" better than they did against Clemson in Charlotte.

Tar Heels Dig Too Deep a Hole Yet Again

Rarely, if ever, is it wise to wait to get punched before swinging back — especially when tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. It’s an issue North Carolina has dealt with all season, and again Thursday night the Tar Heels stepped too close to the fire and paid for it, unable to overcome an 18-point second-half deficit in an 80-79 loss to Clemson in the ACC quarterfinals.

Hubert Davis On UNC's ACC Tournament Exit: 'Not A Recipe For Success'

Hubert Davis: "Clemson has always been physical defensively, and one of the things I always say is you never let a defense dictate and decide how efficient you are on the offensive end.

Another Quad 1 loss has UNC Men's Basketball likely ticketed for 6 seed

After blowing one last chance for a Quad 1 victory to impress the NCAA tournament committee, No. 19 North Carolina is likely destined to no better than a 5 seed and likely a 6 seed when the brackets are announced Sunday. Given that it was a narrow loss in a Quad 1 game, UNC fell only one spot in the NET (from 23 to 24) and the WAB (from 19 to 20). (Tar Heel Tribune)

Caleb Wilson speaks to reporters for first time since season-ending injury

Caleb Wilson, who has missed UNC's last eight basketball games, was asked how he was feeling following the Tar Heels' ACC Tournament loss to Clemson. "Pretty bad. I'm just trying to look on the bright side, trying to cheer my teammates on. It's a journey. I broke my hand, then I broke my other one...kinda ironic," Wilson said with a frustrated smirk.

UNC players proud of fight in ACC Tournament, wish desperation had come earlier

For most of Thursday night, North Carolina looked out of sync. "I’m proud of our guys for fighting, but we shouldn’t have been in that situation in the first place," forward Jarin Stevenson said, who almost always has a smile on his face in postgame interviews but not on this night. "It comes again with energy and getting stops earlier in the game." (Tar Heel Tribune)

Chansky’s Notebook: One-and-Done in Charlotte

In UNC's four previous trips to the ACC Tournament under coach Hubert Davis, the Tar Heels hadn’t claimed a conference championship, but they had never gone home without one or two victories, either. As Clemson moved on to face Duke in Friday night’s ACC Tournament semifinals, UNC was left to contemplate its quick and painful exit from the event. (Chapelboro.com)
