January 23, 2014 | General
Basketball
Hubert Davis shared his thoughts on some of the issues facing the Tar Heels...A couple days ago we had a map of where college football players come from. Here's the basketball version of that map, with North Carolina doing very well. Love that you can sort it by position...Jay Bilas on the Tar Heels...Barry Jacobs looks at where Carolina stands right now historically against other teams in the program's history. It will be interesting to see how the storyline changes if the Tar Heels go on a winning streak, which seems possible looking at the schedule...This was a great answer from Hubert Davis about his best memory of playing at Carolina:

Here's the 2014 UNC football schedule...And the ever-popular ACC helmet schedule...Jones Angell and Lee Pace break down the schedule:
Adam Lucas also had some thoughts on the schedule...Kareem Martin is trying to continue a history of success from Tar Heel defensive linemen...Earlier this week, we saw what the first-team All-ACC trophies look like. Here's a glimpse of the second-team version:
