The Daily Tar Heel has put together a collection of the biggest stories from throughout the year for our audience.

“The issue was Trayce Jackson-Davis,” head coach Hubert Davis said. “They have a player that they can run offense through that can generate points for them on every possession. And as of right now, we don’t have that. We don’t have that in the post.”
