Shawn Becket, of Auburn, Ala., is Thursday's winner of The TarHeelBlue Challenge.
Congratulations to Shawn, who wins an autographed men's basketball media guide. Shawn also becomes eligible to win two free tickets to the March 4 UNC-Duke basketball game at the Smith Center. The winner of the tickets will be announced in late January.
Now, here are the correct answers:
1. How many letterwinners return from last year's 46-17 Carolina Baseball team?
Answer: 10 (We also accepted those of you who answered 11. One of this year's returnees, Ryan Blake, did not letter last year because of a medical red-shirt).

2. UNC is attempting to set an ACC record for attendance at a women's basketball game this Sunday with the game against N.C. State (1 p.m.) at the Smith Center. What is the attendance goal for the game?
Answer: 14,600 (We also accepted those of you who answered 14,500 or 14,501. While the stated goal for the game is 14,600, some of you may have been confused by the fact that the actual attendance record is 14,500).
