by Sharon Thorsland Well, it was quite a game last week for North Carolina. The Tar Heels (8-2) let arch rival Duke hang around and barely pulled off a double overtime victory in Chapel Hill. The competition gets even tougher this weekend with a trip to Death Valley to take a resurgent Clemson team. The […]
by Sharon Thorsland It’s time for another edition of the South’s oldest rivalry, featuring Virginia and undefeated North Carolina in their 128th match up.

by Sharon Thorsland North Carolina is undefeated at 3-0 on the season after last week’s win over Minnesota. The 17th ranked Tar Heels now set their sights on ACC foe Pitt., who has finished the past two seasons ranked in the Top 25 but is off to a poor start this season. The Panthers have […]

They won their opener in fairly easy fashion, but then went down to the wire in a shoot-out with App State last week, barely escaping Boone with a wild 63-61 win. Obviously the offense was outstanding, but the defense – not […]
by Sharon Thorsland North Carolina is 8-1 and ranked 15th in the country. In football, not basketball!
