UNC graduate guard says a confident mindset and the the need to “stick together’ will be a must Saturday at Cameron Indoor Stadium

The Duke Blue Devils (18-2, 10-0 ACC) will attempt to extend a 14-game winning streak when they host the North Carolina Tar Heels (13-9, 6-4 ACC) on Saturday, February 1, 2025 at Cameron Indoor

North Carolina is in the midst of a disappointing season, and there are shortcomings on both sides of the ball.

As the first of the fated Tobacco Road games this season fast approaches, Duke finds itself at No. 2 in the country and riding a 14-game winning streak, while North Carolina has completely disappeared from the polls.

No. 15 North Carolina faces the No. 19 California Golden Bears after Maria Gakdeng scored 21 points in the Tar Heels' 86-84 loss to the Florida State Seminoles.

The win advanced the Tar Heels’ record to 13-8 on the season, and 6-3 within the ACC. Still, Davis questioned the effort and motivation of his veteran group afterwards, believing North Carolina has to pick up their play over the next month, or they risk squandering a season that was brimming with potential at the start.

North Carolina pushes tempo at one of the fastest paces in the land, looking to score in transition and get high-percentage looks at the rim. The Heels are also very active in the half-court set and fire up plenty of attempts early into the shot clock.

Virginia has been selected as the 2025 Atlantic Coast Conference Baseball preseason favorites by the league’s 16 head coaches. The Cavaliers garnered 13 of the 16 possible first-place votes from the league's head coaches.

The 19th-ranked Cal women's basketball team suffered its first home loss of the season on Thursday, as No. 15 North Carolina defeated the Bears 65-52 at Haas Pavilion. Ioanna Krimili set a Cal single-season record for three-pointers when she made her third triple of the game in the third quarter.

He announced an offer from the Tar Heels on social media last week and has since pinned that post on his X account.

On Wednesday night, Wolfpack offensive line coach Garett Tujague, who powered the recruitment of NC State's now-premier 2025 signee in Louisville Male High School (Ky.) four-star center Isaac Sowells Jr., had dinner with Ogboko and his mother.
