Posted on December 7, 2013 | No CommentsNormally, you’d think a Carolina team would easily handle UNC-G at home. But the way this season has gone, Tar Heel fans would do well to not over expect. After all, the Heels have played well against good teams and fair to poor against so-so or poor teams. But the Tar Heels didn’t disappoint and whipped UNC-G 80-51. They went on a 25-1 run in the first half and a... -

The Tar Heels, all of whom seem to have been in Coach Roy Williams’ doghouse since the UAB effort or lack thereof, played harder against Michigan State and even looked to be the superior team. They...

Ebron, leaving UNC early, shouldn’t be honored with seniors
North Carolina junior tight end Eric Ebron has elected to forego his final year of eligibility and enter the 2014 NFL Draft. Since he is ranked as the No. 12 overall player by ESPN NFL draft analyst Mel Kiper, it may very well be a good decision.
