In his last two games for the Orange, Elijah Hughes has combined for 45 points against Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh, two teams that defeated North Carolina this year. He'll certainly be one of the guys UNC looks to slow down in Saturday's game against Syracuse.
After a long 2019 season, one North Carolina pitcher got to shine on Tuesday afternoon. Redshirt first-year Max Alba got his first start for the Tar Heels on Tuesday in their win against North Carolina A&T after recovering from Tommy John surgery in 2018.

Throughout the Tar Heels' worst season since 2001-02, Brooks has been the team's steadiest player, scoring key bucket after key bucket for a team that has desperately needed every single one. He has weathered the storm, and when North Carolina needed him in a game that everyone in Chapel Hill cares far more than they will admit, he delivered.
You know the head-to-head numbers by heart (even though you claim not to). Under Roy Williams, the Tar Heels have 31 — now 32 — victories over their little brother in Raleigh, to just four losses. North Carolina has been felled by the Wolfpack just once in the last 10 tries. You claim it doesn't matter, but it always has — especially this year, the worst of the Daggum Era. UNC has had N.C. State's number, and that didn't change on Tuesday night.
After starting 2020 with a 4-0 record, it is clear that the No. 4 Tar Heels have turned a corner and have a chance to return to the glory they experienced in 2016, when they won the national championship.
For my money, no moment beats the most beautiful one across all of sports: when a basketball player catches fire and the world (including everyone else on the court) has no other choice but to sit back and watch magic happen.
Roy Williams made it clear on his Tuesday presser that neither he nor his team will be giving up despite the Tar Heels' 10-17 record. The Hall of Fame coach is in the midst of his first losing season of his 32-year head coaching career.

The No. 8 North Carolina wrestling team capped off a difficult schedule in the month of February with a 22-9 loss to No. 5 Arizona State, but the defeat hasn't stopped the squad from setting its sights on a conference title.
Consistency from UNC’s relay teams and contributions from nearly every athlete helped the women’s swimming and diving teams score 839 points, good for a strong fourth-place finish in Greensboro under first-year head coach Mark Gangloff.

Despite losing two of three games against the Patriots, the one constant for UNC throughout the weekend was its pitching staff, as the Tar Heels threw a total of 31 strikeouts in their three games against DBU.
