Until Next time, thanks for listening and Go Heels!
Back after a short break. It's time for the season wrap-up for college basketball and the Tar Heels!
I take a look at all the predictions you guys submitted at the beginning of the season to see how we did. Look at recent UNC Basketball related news and then look into the off-season.
Question: Who will be the starters next season?
Until Next time, thanks for listening and Go Heels!
Unfortunately, not as much UNC basketball talked about in the podcast as we would all like, but I start with Tar Heel news, coaching changes in ACC and then jump back into the tournament.
I go over the Elite 8 games and maybe some Sweet 16 games before previewing the Final Four games and talking about possibilities for the championship on Monday.
Until Next time, thanks for listening and Go Heels!
A different kind of podcast today in that there are no games to review. We wrapped up the ACC Tournament for the Heels last time and now all our focus is on the Big Dance! It's is here! The greatest time of the year, March Madness!
So of course, I talk about the Tar Heels draw, who they play and potentially play in their region. I will go through my first couple rounds of picks (subject to change before Thursday yet) and give my Final Four and championship picks before the tourney gets started Thursday!

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!
