Our Tar Heels got a big win at home vs #4, Gonzaga, winning 103-90 and looked good doing it! We recap that game and then look ahead to the CBS Sports Classic against the Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday!
Is UNC fixed? Is that the best we will see them play all year? Peaked to early or improvements to come?
Back for another week following the Tar Heels bad loss at Michigan in the ACC/B1G Challenge and a blowout win against UNCW in Chapel Hill. I will take a look at the stats for those 2 games before turning our attention to the Gonzaga game coming up next Saturday.
Then a quick look around college basketball. And a recruiting update!
We are 3 games and wins into the Tar Heels basketball season and it is rolling with no slowing down in site! That means we are also back to weekly podcasts keeping you up to date, looking back at the stats of games and previewing upcoming games!
I hope you will subscribe and join this journey with me through the season bringing all of Tar Heel Nation together!
We close it out taking a quick look around college basketball and the Duke Sucks segment (send in all that you find!)
This is going to be a big podcast! On top of the annual predictions podcast where you send in your predictions and I give mine as well, we have a lot of news and topics to go over!
Some of them are:
-Late Night with Roy
-Media Day
-"secret" scrimmage with Villanova
-FBI/NCAA corruption trial coming to close

Hopefully, I don't let it go on too long and hope you enjoy! The season is right here and it is looking to be another special one for the Tar Heels! Glad you have joined my movement to unite Tar Heel Nation!

We are back with the September podcast and its the annual player prediction podcast! I run through what I think are realistic expectations for the guys this season.
Also, the usual update on all the news related to UNC hoops.
Start sending in your predictions for the season! (What will our record be for the season and how far will we go in the tournament?) Send them in on twitter, IG or email
Until Next time, thanks for listening and Go Heels!
Just hours after 2019 5-star big man Armando Bacot committed to UNC I sat down with Blake Cockrum of Keeping It Heel to discuss the commitment and all things recruiting!
We start off with the incoming freshmen Nassir Little, Coby White, and Leaky Black and the impact they will have this year.
Then we take a look at the commits and targets for next years class and the class of 2020.

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!
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!
Big week for the Tar Heels with a lot of games to go through! Didn't get to podcast over the weekend like I would have liked so I am going to try to get 2 out in next couple of days!
In this podcast, I run through North Carolina's run in the ACC Tournament! Plus I will look at UNC's seed line and their pod and region.
Be on the lookout for another podcast breaking down the entire bracket later tonight or early tomorrow!
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!
