Twitter:

-Mark Crisp (markyd0522)- I’m going to say 24-7 regular season record. As far as the ACC tournament goes I think we get to the championship game. I predict we go to the elite eight in the NCAA tournament. Hopefully we are a better shooting team this year and a solid defensive team.

-Joe Thompson (@DESisthecoach)- First time in a long time I have no idea what to expect. Adds some anticipation. I'll say 22-9 regular season. 3rd or 4th in ACC. 2 wins in ACC Tournament. 3 seed in big tourney with a Sweet 16 run.

-Michael May (@MikeMay23)- Dang Joe beat me to it. Was literally gonna day 22-9 regular season and a trip to sweet 16

-Tre Stennett (@triggaa_tre)- 25-6 regular season, 2nd ACC,Semi Final ACC Tourney, Elite 8

-Chan (@chancollins40)- I say they will go 25-6 in the regular season, And then will place 3rd in the ACC tourney, And be eliminated in the sweet 16 in the NCAA tourney

-William Clark (@williambclark3)- I expect a healthy Carolina to win at least 23 games. Winning the ACC may be a little tough but I believe they can! They have the ability to at least make it to the Sweet 16.

-George (@britishtarheel)- We’re going to reach the Sweet Sixteen! Win the ACC!

Finally, shoot more three pointers than the last two seasons combined

-Mark Krings (@krings_23)- I’ve got our Heels going 9-2 non conference and 14-6 in conference. The will reach the semis in the conference tourney and get to the elite 8.

-Sarah (@unccat)- 22-9. Hopeful for a run to Elite 8

-Andrew Braun (@drufitAT)- 24-7 overall, 14-6 ACC, tourney knocked out in elite 8, I think they lose the ACC champ game

-Alane Floyd (@alanefloyd)- Regular season record : 22-8. I think we will loose in the quarter finals of the ACC tournament and then make a Sweet 16 NCAA tourney run. My UNC Duke predictions is : 2-1, but we loose at Cameron

-Gil (@yogigil)- Regular Season record 23-8, top 3 ACC finish, ACC Tournament champs and Final Four in Hubert's first season - Let's Go!!!

-@dtgoulet- 25-6 final 4. I feel it in my bones.

-Blake- a top-3 finish in the ACC, should go into the tournament as at least a 5-seed. Sweet 16, maybe Elite 8 if they get good seeding or have a strong postseason run.

TarHeel4l.wire- My prediction for this coming season is 24-7 or 25-6 with us winning the ACC Championship and making it at least to the Elite 8 though I genuinely feel we could have a shot at the Natty with all the pieces we have on the roster. As long as everything comes together and all the players are locked in the sky is the limit.

Discord:

(Josh G) Rowdy- So I’m gonna go with a 24-7 record for this season. My prediction is based on the freshman class from last season taking a big step up (Love in particular) and leading us to a good tournament run.

Think we have 3 really hard non conference games (Purdue, UCLA, and Michigan) other than those I think we do good in that part of the schedule.

Conference play is pretty hard to predict, think the ACC is gonna be better this year than last year so think we might lose 4-6 conference games and I think that the ACC tournament is definitely winnable if we can get a double bye which I think we will.

I think if this team can learn to play with each other and adapt to any changes in the system, I think we are plenty talented enough to be playing in the final couple games of the year. Right now I’m gonna go with elite 8 but wouldn’t surprise me to see them go al the way.
