The Two Main Stayers Lead The Heels

The long-time Tar Heels in fifth-year senior Armando Bacot and senior R.J. Davis tallied a combined total of 44 points, 24 rebounds (Bacot had 20 of them), and 2 assists. The duo shot 16-28 together, totaling 57% for the game against the Mountain Hawks.
 
This should be no surprise at all to Carolina fans, as these two were once 20 minutes away from hanging another banner in the Dean E. Smith Center just two seasons ago.
 
Bacot and Davis are hungrier than ever to make history at UNC this season that will last a lifetime.

Harrison Ingram Thrives 

The junior transfer out of Stanford, who was once recruited by the Tar Heels during his senior year of high school, continues to make an impact in his second game under Coach Davis.
 
Ingram tacked on 14 points and 7 rebounds, completing 6 out of his 11 field goals.
 
An immediate impact that allows UNC to play a small-ball lineup, allowing versatility on both ends of the floor.

Rob Landry: Inside the Life of a Biscuit Boy

Image
  (Photo Courtesy Nicholas Faulker/GettyImages)  By JEREMIAH ARTACHO Chapel Hill, N.C. — Rob Landry, a 6-foot-4 and 190-pound senior walk-on from Greensboro, North Carolina starred as part of UNC's "Biscuit Boys." Attracting many fans who sit in the bleachers of the Dean Dome cheering on their teammates from the end of the bench. Landry began his time on the junior varsity team and eventually tried out to be a part of UNC's roster. He ultimately made it but the journey was not easy by any means. During a time when the whole world experienced an epidemic, it was hard for everyone to go out and do as they pleased.  Landry's relationship with the other Biscuit Boys, Creighton Lebo, and Duwe Farris traces miles beyond the hardwood, "We're super tight," he said. It helps to have friends in similar situations that go through the same stuff on the team. Knowing that we won't necessarily be the ones getting the playing time but at the same time we do get...

UNC Basketball: A Rematch of the 2016 National Title Game

Image
   (Photo Courtesy Jim Hawkins/Inside Carolina) Chapel Hill - UNC vs. Villanova is here.   Coach Davis and the Tar Heels are presented with a contest that has a very intense past history.   Back in the 2016 National Championship after beating a 10-seeded Syracuse team during the Final Four that ended with a score of 83-66. Then proceeded on to face Coach Wright and a 35-4 Villanova entering the game on the last Monday of the season.   The starters for former Coach Williams consisted of a senior Marcus Paige, a junior Joel Berry II, a sophomore Justin Jackson, a junior Kennedy Meeks, and an outstanding senior Brice Johnson.   It's now 2023, with a new coach, new players, and a whole brand-new system due to modern-day basketball.   UNC handled Northern Iowa after a slow first half, 91-69, as six players accumulated at least 10 points to their name.   Villanova defeated Texas Tech in their quarterfinal game 85-69, as the pair o...

UNC Basketball Preview: Jumpman Invitational

Image
(Photo Courtesy Jim Hawkins/Inside Carolina)  Chapel Hill - Tomorrow, December 20th, at 9:00 p.m., the Tarheels will play the #7 Oklahoma Sooners in the Jumpman Invitational. Last season, the Heels won this special event against Michigan by a score of 80-76. Coach Davis and his team seek to snap their two-game losing streak after the battles involving #5 UConn in the Jimmy V Classic and #9 Kentucky in the CBS Sports Classic. UNC went toe-to-toe against Kentucky, shrinking deficits throughout the game, which unfortunately resulted in a turnover during their last halfcourt possession in what looked to be a setup for an RJ Davis catch-and-shoot three-pointer. However, Davis blasted for 27 points with seven rebounds and four assists, alongside Cormac Ryan's 20-point outing, shooting eight of twelve for the game and four of seven from behind the three-point line. Davis continues to be exceptional for North Carolina and displays such poise on the offensive end of the ball. The senior gu...
