Last week's emotional pinnacle (thus far) of beating Duke at home quickly cratered in Coral Gables this week as the North Carolina Tar Heels idled their way to a road loss. The mood around the program then plunged even deeper upon the news that All-everything Freshman Caleb Wilson would miss time with a broken bone in his hand. Carolina regrouped and with a mash-unit in the post, beat a hapless Pitt team in Chapel Hill to round out the most helter skelter stretch in quite some time with a trip to Raleigh on deck. Sherrell McMillan and Sean Moran join Joey Powell to decipher it all. The Coast to Coast is delivered by Salvio's Pizzeria.

Inside Carolina's Grace Nugent and Tommy Ashley break down North Carolina's sweep of Indiana in Boshamer Stadium on opening weekend. The Diamond Heels were not perfect, but strong starting pitching over three games and late timely hitting to complete the sweep provided an early baseline for head coach Scott Forbes and his team. Macon Winslow's 11th inning walk-off home run in game three will certainly carry the highlight reels, but Jason DeCaro, Folger Boaz and Ryan Lynch dealt in all three games setting the table for the offense to provide the winning firepower across the series' 27 innings.   This show is brought to you by Inside Carolina, the No. 1 site for UNC sports coverage and community.
