Caleb Wilson Done for the Year - Reaction | College Basketball

Inside Carolina analyst Rob Harrington and former Tar Heel Dewey Burke join Tommy Ashley to break down North Carolina's 76-61 loss at Duke on Saturday night in Cameron Indoor Stadium. Cameron Boozer was too much for the Carolina defense and Duke's ability to extend offensive possessions with offensive rebounds eventually wore down Hubert Davis's team in the second half.  Burke and Harrington discuss the Blue Devil defense - Duke turned 14 UNC turnovers into 24 points. Derek Dixon's 17 points led the Heels while Henri Veesaar (11pts), Seth Trimble (10pts) and Jarin Stevenson (10pts) joined the freshman in double figures. Boozer's 26 points and 15 rebounds led the number one ranked Devils. Up next for Carolina is the ACC Tournament. The Heels have a double bye and will open play Thursday at approximately 9:30pm in Charlotte. **Call to Action:**  **Subscribe:** Follow 'Inside Carolina' wherever you get your podcasts to never miss an episode!  **Review:** Leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify to help us reach more Tar Heel fans!  **Visit:** Explore http://www.InsideCarolina.com for breaking news, recruiting updates, and expert commentary on all things UNC sports.This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.

Inside Carolina senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley to break down round two of the best rivalry in sports - Carolina vs. Duke. The Tar Heels have locked in the four seed in the ACC Tournament while Duke sits atop the league standings, but none of those rankings matter on Saturday at 6:30p in Cameron Indoor Stadium.  Barnes and Ashley go in depth on defending Duke's Cameron Boozer and the challenges UNC's Henri Veesaar and Jarin Stephenson will face on that end of the floor as well as the importance of staying on the floor in the pivotal moments of the game. Both teams have played well since Carolina's win in the first matchup so what adjustments will each coaching staff make, if any?  How will Caleb Wilson factor into Saturday night given his injury and given how important his performance was in game one?

North Carolina's ACC baseball season begins on Friday with the Virginia Cavaliers coming to Boshamer Stadium for a three game series against the Tar Heels. It will be the first time since the 2024 College World Series the two long time rivals have matched up and the first time since the 2023 season the Cavs have made the trip south to Chapel Hill. Carolina's last series win came in the 2021 season when the Heels took two of three from UVa in Boshamer Stadium. Both teams have had success in the early non-conference season with Carolina owning a 12-1-1 record while Virginia comes in at 11-2.  Inside Carolina's Grace Nugent and Tommy Ashley break down the matchups across the diamond with a focus on pitching and defense for head coach Scott Forbes's Carolina team and a preview of new Virginia coach (and previous Duke coach) Chris Pollard's blended roster of former Blue Devils and holdovers from Virginia after Brian O'Conner left for Mississippi State in 2025.

Inside Carolina senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley to discuss North Carolina vs. Clemson, highlighting the importance of the matchup for both teams. Clemson, having fallen off since a hot start to the season, is now trying to secure a double bye in the ACC tournament and a decent NCAA seed. Carolina heads into the final two games of the regular season in a similar situation in league play as the double-by or not double-bye will likely come down to the ACC's tiebreak policy.   Barnes and Ashley point to the physical play of Clemson and how Henri Veesaar will handle the interior and who will step up in the paint - Jarin Stevenson?  Zayden High?   - and the need for a balanced offensive approach.  They also touch more on ACC tournament scenarios and NCAA seed projections, noting the potential impact of Caleb Wilson's absence and how the selection committee will view Carolina's loss to NC State and other performances without a full roster.   **Call to Action:**   **Subscribe:** Follow 'Inside Carolina' wherever you get your podcasts to never miss an episode!   **Review:** Leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify to help us reach more Tar Heel fans!   **Visit:** Explore http://www.InsideCarolina.com for breaking news, recruiting updates, and expert commentary on all things UNC sports.

North Carolina's hot start on the season includes two series sweeps, midweek success and a tie in the rubber match of the annual East Carolina series.

Forbes spoke to Inside Carolina's Tommy Ashley on their weekly show about the progress of his team, how he grades his team's performances regardless of the level of competition and how pitching prospects develop in his program. Forbes and Ashley also discuss things off the field from physical health of players and the individual player responsibilities to that end at the collegiate level as well as the mental health side of being a college athlete. Finally, Forbes details the preparation his players get ahead of a game and the level of knowledge technology and metrics bring to the scouting process. **Call to Action:**   **Subscribe:** Follow 'Inside Carolina' wherever you get your podcasts to never miss an episode!   **Review:** Leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify to help us reach more Tar Heel fans!   **Visit:** Explore http://www.InsideCarolina.com for breaking news, recruiting updates, and expert commentary on all things UNC sports.     This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.

Inside Carolina's senior reporter Greg Barnes and Tommy Ashley discuss the future decisions of UNC players Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar ahead of the NBA Draft. With the new era of NIL and rev share, how are pro decisions impacted for players not in the elite echelon of draft prospects. Barnes and Ashley dig into the topic based off a IC message board thread asking 'Would Caleb Wilson Come Back for 5 Million' and while the decision should be easy for talents like Wilson, what about players on the level of Veesaar? Do late first round picks have easy decisions to make? Second rounders? Barnes and Ashley also discuss the process college teams must navigate when it comes to procuring talent in the transfer portal versus retaining talent on the current rosters including not only the financial aspect but also chemistry, fit, continuity, familiarity and other team dynamics beyond the money.    **Call to Action:**   **Subscribe:** Follow 'Inside Carolina' wherever you get your podcasts to never miss an episode!   **Review:** Leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify to help us reach more Tar Heel fans!   **Visit:** Explore http://www.InsideCarolina.com for breaking news, recruiting updates, and expert commentary on all things UNC sports.     This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.

North Carolina took care of business this week, beating Louisville and VT at home, improving their record to 4-1 without superstar freshman Caleb Wilson. The trio digs deeper into North Carolina's unexpected success without Wilson, highlighting Seth Trimble's 30-point game against Louisville and Henry Veesaar's 26 points Saturday. While the scoring outputs are key, the improved defensive discipline and offensive consistency were noteworthy as those two issues have given the Heels problems on and off this year. The discussion also covered the importance of role players like Jonathan Powell and Zayden High, and the potential impact of Caleb Wilson's return. UNC now looks to the last two regular season games with many of their goals still within reach and with games against Clemson and Duke on tap, the focus on maintaining composure and leveraging recent improvements will determine just how high up the seed lines this group can get in the conference and NCAA tournaments. Sherrell McMillan and Sean Moran join Joey Powell to put meaning to the week and concluded with a mention of Malloy Smith's official visit to North Carolina. The Coast to Coast is delivered by Salvio's Pizzeria.  The Caleb Wilson is brought to you by Alex Swire-Clark.  **Call to Action:**  **Subscribe:** Follow 'Inside Carolina' wherever you get your podcasts to never miss an episode!  **Review:** Leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify to help us reach more Tar Heel fans!  **Visit:** Explore http://www.InsideCarolina.com for breaking news, recruiting updates, and expert commentary on all things UNC sports.This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.
