Caleb Wilson calls iso to end the game. UNC basketball vs. a handful of, it appears, UNC baseball players.

Why the belt? Ven-Allen Lubin and Quadir Copeland explain here. Copeland said it’s absolutely a nod to Caleb Wilson’s belt and the smack he feels Wilson, UNC talked in the preseason. Copeland said he told Wilson in the postgame handshake line, “lace up next time.”

Does Coach Paige have any eligibility left? 😭

Moment of the press conference. Cormac Ryan interrupts RJ Davis and sticks up for his teammate. “He’s one of the greatest Tar Heels of all time. For anybody to come and say anything negative about RJ is unacceptable.” Video courtesy of NCAA Media Hub.

Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve had some interesting thoughts on this exact topic yesterday at practice in light of the recent "StudBudz" explosion. "Ask Sue Bird and Diana Taurasi about the beginning [of the W] and what they were subject to.... [now] being ourselves is just OK."

Postgame interview with Henri Veesaar. Benefits of open lockers is getting more 1-on-1 time w/ players. How’s he feeling? “Pissed off. Sad. Disappointed. I know there’s a lot of fans that drove up here, paid hard-earned money for this ticket. We let a lot of people down.”

Another great moment from last night: Hubert Davis walking off the court and celebrating with Antawn Jamison, other former Tar Heels. “Pretty good, huh? Pretty good, huh?”

There’s one very important person who couldn’t make it to Seth Trimble’s Senior Night. That’s his big brother, J.P. Tokoto. Tokoto watched the game from Lublin, Poland, where he’s playing overseas. I asked Trimble what Tokoto’s support has meant to him. Here’s his answer:

Nick Neumann, self-proclaimed No. 1 Caleb Wilson fan, details his outfit for the Georgia Tech game below. More is planned for the UNC-Duke matchup, he tells me. Safe to say Neumann was rewarded on Saturday, as Wilson delivered another record-breaking performance.

Hubert Davis on this troubling recent stretch for UNC. “Everybody goes through some bumps… these are some bumps that we went through this week and three of the last four games.”

Asked Seth Trimble about his message to the team today. “We’re gonna get guys’ best shot every night,” Trimble said. “It’s gonna be a war and it’s gonna be a battle. And one thing that we have to do is carry this (taps UNC logo) and wear it with us like no other.”

Seth Trimble’s teammates crash his postgame interview after UNC bests Duke, 71-68, behind his 3-pointer with .4 seconds left.

Caleb Wilson and Cam Boozer are headlining this year’s UNC-Duke game — and, in many ways, this incredible class of freshmen — but were teammates first. More on the pair that “ran through” the competition at 2024 Peach Jam. Latest:

Seth Trimble stayed at UNC for four years. His Saturday game-winner over Duke has staying power, too. “This is what I came here for. It means a lot. It means a lot. I’m getting emotional, but it’s what I came here for – moments like this.” Read more at:
