Another season in the books and what a season it was! From big losses to several good teams to the low point of losing to Pitt at home, to turning it around, beating Duke in K's last home game, beating Baylor, ending K in the Final Four and coming up just short in the National Championship!
We will look back at the season as a whole and all our preseason predictions at another time, for now we take a look at our epic Final Four win over Duke to retire Coach K and the 3-point loss to Kansas for the ship.
After going through the Tar Heel news (breaking news on Joel Berry II), I jump into what this podcast is really all about. That is Tar Heel Nations' predictions for the season!
So many of you sent in your predictions, I appreciate that so thank you! That is what makes this podcast so much fun, you!
After going through my predictions for this season I run through all of yours that were sent in (see below).
Until Next time, thanks for listening and Go Heels!

I am back Tar Heel Nation to wrap-up this spectacular season! In this podcast as we transition into the off-season and podcasting once a month I give my final (probably not though) thoughts on the Championship run and what it means for Roy Williams. Also, we look at who is leaving early and who will come back, recruits we are still after for next season, and finally I finish off by looking back at my preseason predictions as well as all them that you guys submitted back in October! Who was spot on and predicted it all?
Thanks for a great season and joining me in covering it here on the podcast! Also, thanks for all the great support you continue to give me and the podcast!
We are back and have our chance at Redemption! We Survived Oregon and now will match up against Gonzaga tonight at a chance for the title!
I briefly talk about the Oregon game and then preview what should be a great game tonight against the Zags, trying to keep it short enough so hopefully you can listen before the game tips.
The Final Four edition of the UNC Hoops Talk Podcast! The Final Four is upon us and I am here to take a quick look at both games. Will our championship be the 1 seeds, will it be the Carolinas, or will it be 2 teams going for their first championship in program history?
Well, I am trying to move past the game and through the mourning process, I am able to go back out in public so thats good. Ok, maybe it's not that bad, but it certainly feels like it sometimes.
You know already our Tar Heels lost in the most devastating way, but I am going to try to go back through it and see why. Was our defense not up to the task? Was their defense too tough? Did we not make enough shots, they just hit some tough ones or did the zebras come into play as well?
This is one that will never be forgotten and unfortunately we are on the wrong end of it. We will have to see that shot replayed every year at tournament time, championship time and even more often. Who is starting the support group for us?
Hopefully, I make it through this episode and we all need to try to make it through this offseason. Next time I will talk more about who could leave or test the waters, anything new on the investigation "stuff", and the schedule for the podcast.
I hope you enjoy or get enough out of it that you will subscribe and share with your Tar Heel friends & family! As always, Go Heels!
