Blake (@Blakekcmo) of KeepingItHeel.com is back on and we are ready to discuss the upcoming season! Lots of new faces and talent coming in along with some staple pieces coming back it looks like a promising season for the Tar Heels, as long as there is a season. So what will our starting line-up look like come October or February? We break it all down here!
Trying something new here, Gil (@yogigil) filled in for me to complete the 2019 players' predictions podcast this year. Trying something new, this will only go up on YouTube, so I hope you will check it out and let me know what you think? Should we do more of this?
It was pretty spot on with about what I would predict for a lot of the guys this year as well, leave feedback in comments, on twitter or Instagram (@AllTarHeelDan)
The annual predictions podcast is here! Thank you to everyone who sent in their predictions, that's what makes this podcast so fun to do every year and of course makes it possible for us to look back at who was close to right after the season.
Of course, we all want to pick the Tar Heels to win it all every year and I don't think this is going to stop any of us from cheering for that. That being said, here are the predictions I got sent in to me this year:
Mine- 25-6 regular season, top 2 of ACC, 2-1 in ACC tourney, 3-1 in NCAA tournament (leaning towards final four)
Overall- 30-8
Twitter:
-Jared Varner @jvarner_wv- 24-5 regular season 2nd in ACC win ACC tournament get 1 seed in March make to final four
-@thomascrown97- 14-6conference, 23-8 overall. ACC tournament probably semi final. NCAA i really don’t think we know enough about this team to make an educated guess, but based off of the nature of the tournament I’ll say at least a sweet 16.
-Chandler Collins @chancollins40- 22-9, sweet 16, split with duke in reg season and beat them in acc tourney
-Shaked Bar-Tal @sportguyshow- 25-6, 1st in acc, final four and cutting down the net!
-Alex Gilmore @a_gilmore88- 29-7 (16-4), lose in semis of ACCT after getting double bye and lose in Elite 8
-Jeff G. @steelheel40- 25-6 regular season!!
Final Four run!!
-William B Clark III @williambclark3- win ACC regular season, maybe tourney, big men the key, Cole fun to watch, go the distance (win it all)
-Michael Quick @bigpunisher78- 30-10 win acc regular season and make the final four in Atlanta
-@HeelsYes- 23-8, 6-7 of those in conference play, 3 seed in tourney and lose in elite 8
-Lorri Blair Mercer @carolinachic23- lose 5 reg. Season games, make it to the final 4
-Mark Krings @krings_23- 24-7
Lose in the ACC championship game
Make the elite eight
-GoHeelsAthletics- 32-8 with a new national championship banner!
-Andrew Braun drufitAT- I think the heels will win 25 games, win the acc, and final four
-Steven Lyon @slyon28- 22-9. 9-2 non-conference, 13-7 in conference for 3rd place. ACC tournament quarterfinals and sweet 16.
-Brad Keutzer @bradkeutzer22- 25-6 regular season champs. Lose to Louisville in acc champ game. Go to final four. Cole Anthony will be wooden award winner
-Elpidia Allen @TheycallmeEl- 23-8 Lose 2nd round of acc tournament and sweet 16
-Tre Stennett @triggaa_tre- 30-8
Final 4
ACC Regular Season Champs
-Snake @Elijah_Shriner- 28-9 elite 8
-Jackie Eason @jeasRyuu- 27-4... and I think we go to the championship...
-Alane Brewer Floyd @alanefloyd- My predictions: 31 regular season games:open with a loss to ND and then overall record of 23-8. I think we make ACC tourney finals but lose. NCAA tourney:we make the Final Four but lose there.
-John B @n2unc- 27-9 Majority of the losses before Jan. Sweet 16
-Alex German @_german53_- so I think CBB this year is gonna be Kansas and Michigan State then everyone else, so strong chance Carolina can make a final 4 run. I don’t think Cole is going to disappoint and I think Leaky is going to have a breakout year. and maybe some bias bc he’s my favorite one on the team, but I think Platek is going to play a huge role on both sides of the ball (27-4)
Instagram:
-@HeelsReport- Here is my prediction for the 2019/20 UNC Basketball season.
I believe UNC starts the season out with a conference win vs Notre Dame. I believe UNC will go 10-1 in Non-Conference play with a loss in the championship game vs Gonzaga in the Battle 4 Atlantis. I do believe UNC gets Gonzaga back on December 18th with a road win in Spokane. I 100% my next prediction because I believe this team has the potential to do this. I believe UNC goes 19-1 in the ACC. Yes, 19-1. And it’s not going to be against a tough team like Duke, Virginia, or Louisville. I believe we will have a road loss against Florida State on February 3rd. I believe UNC loses in the ACC Championship to Duke, but then we will go on to win the National Championship in Atlanta vs Michigan State. Cole Anthony wins National Player Of The Year and Final Four MOP

Until Next time, thanks for listening and Go Heels!
On this depressing, dreary Monday I recap the opening round of the NCAA tournament! What a crazy first and second round it was! I dive a little deeper into the UNC games (end of season outlook to come later) without trying to get too depressed!
I finish off looking at the next rounds and probably giving more bad picks before going through questions and comments!
Until Next time, thanks for listening and Go Heels!
I try to go through the Tar Heels loss to Duke as quickly and painlessly as I can before I get into the ACC tournament preview! I talk about the matchups for UNC, can we win it, do we want to play 4 games in 4 days, and if not us, then who will win it?
Until Next time, thanks for listening and Go Heels!
What a week for Tar Heel basketball! Unfortunately, I don't say that in a good way. A winless week for UNC Hoops, 3 losses in a row and our 5-star recruit suspended by the university for who knows what (oh yeah and Theo's injury)!
I try to dive into the games as best I can. Then I look at the Pitt game this weekend before I give any input I feel I can on Jalek.
Until Next time, thanks for listening and Go Heels!
The Tar Heels didn't start the new year off in quite the way they wanted, dropping a 1 point game at Florida St. and then getting worked for the second consecutive year at Virginia. They did bounce back at home against Boston College, so what can we expect going forward?
Of course, I recap those 3 conference games and then look forward to the next couple weeks of games! Can we keep it rolling? Can we win on the road? Can Luke have success against more athletic and taller teams?
Until Next time, thanks for listening and Go Heels!
This episode I jump right into it, I review the Tennessee win (from an in-person point of view) and my experience at the game.
Then I move over to what the heck happened last night At Home against WOFFORD! Are we in trouble? Panic time? or a fluke and we will be okay?
Before I sign off we look at the next couple of weeks games which include the non-conference closer against Ohio State in the CBS Sports Classic. Then look at the ACC opener against Wake Forest and our first road ACC game against FSU!
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays from the UNC Hoops Talk Podcast!
Until Next time, thanks for listening and Go Heels!
A week full of games again and a week full of our Tar Heels taking care of business!
This week I break down the wins over Michigan, Davidson, and Tulane (shouldn’t take too long). Then I take a look ahead which is only the Western Carolina game (also, shouldn’t take very long)
Other topics include- update on Cam’s injury, got my ticket to an upcoming game (who else will be there? meet up?) vlog?, a look at the podcast schedule through the holiday season, and lastly I revisit the “my guy” topic from couple podcasts ago (send yours in!).
Until Next time, thanks for listening and Go Heels!
*technical difficulties at 25:00 (sorry about that)
UNC Hoops Talk Podcast #129
A lot of games since the last podcast, some good ones before ending on a really bad one!
I welcome in Blake (@Blakekcmo) from Keeping it Heel back to the podcast to recap all our games including the PK80 tournament before we turn out sights to the next week's games.
The Tar Heels have Michigan (ACC/B1G Challenge), Davidson, and Tulane coming up in the next week. They will need to bounce back quickly!
Until Next time, thanks for listening and Go Heels!
