UNC's Folger Boaz and the Journey to Lead | Inside Carolina Interviews | College Baseball

North Carolina's exhibition win over Charlotte highlighted UNC's weaknesses as the Heels have definite limitations across the talent spectrum. Terrence Brown's performance along with timely three point shooting from Jarin Stevenson and Jaydon Young - and a late technical foul on the 49er's - lifted Michael Malone's team to the victory, but the lack of rebounding and turnover problems nearly proved fatal.Inside Carolina senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley to discuss the shortcomings of the roster along with the positives and strengths that can lead to winning basketball if the team plays with  maximum effort for 40 minutes every night.  We want to thank and acknowledge our sponsor for this show:–> Johnny T-shirt: The best place for Tar Heel gear, a Chapel Hill tradition since 1983, and 20-year partners with Inside Carolina.

Inside Carolina basketball analyst Rob Harrington joins Tommy Ashley for a breakdown of North Carolina's final preseason exhibition against Charlotte. The Heels came back in the second half and beat the 49er's in overtime, 89-82.The Tar Heels struggled to get things in gear and Wes Miller's team took advantage building a 29-14 lead in the first half. UNC's Terrence Brown got the Carolina offense going for a stretch and the Heels eventually cut the lead to three, 36-33, at half. Brown continued his scoring in the second half and while careless turnovers and poor rebounding kept Charlotte close, the Heels needed a late 'Chris Webber' technical foul to get the game to overtime before pulling way in the extra time.Harrington and Ashley hit on the positives while discussing the trouble spots as Michael Malone's team wraps the preseason with a needed win and the regular season opens on Monday night.

Inside Carolina senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley to discuss the fallout from Saturday's missed opportunities for North Carolina football against Syracuse. Bill Belichick's team continues to play well enough to grab early leads but against the Orange, poor quarterback play and the lack of depth on defense lead to the 31-30 loss.What's next in the process for this team as Miami comes calling on Halloween? Can Belichick and staff continue to stay with the status quo or is a change necessary to potentially jump start not just the team but the fan base?  Credit: Cory Knowlton-Imagn ImagesWe want to thank and acknowledge our sponsor for this show:– Johnny T-shirt: The best place for Tar Heel gear, a Chapel Hill tradition since 1983, and 20-year partners with Inside Carolina.

North Carolina's opportunity to push the football program forward fell flat on Saturday night in Kenan Stadium as the Tar Heels once again started hot only to fade at the end - this time unable to overcome limitations across the board. Syracuse made enough plays late and won 31-30 in overtime dropping UNC to 4-3 overall with Miami on deck for next Saturday night.Inside Carolina's Jason Staples and Buck Sanders join Tommy Ashley to break down the loss from multiple angles including the play of Billy Edwards, Jr and the play calling of Bobby Petrino and the coaching on the offensive side. The IC trio also discusses the growing concerns for the defense including the heavy snap count load that is piling up across the defensive line and the back end injuries, all that continue to narrow the margins for error for the team.Credit: Cory Knowlton-Imagn ImagesWe want to thank and acknowledge our sponsor for this show:– Johnny T-shirt: The best place for Tar Heel gear, a Chapel Hill tradition since 1983, and 20-year partners with Inside Carolina.
