UNC Film Room: One Down

UNC Film Room: One Down

Argyle Report — Brandon Robinson wasn't going to lose on Tuesday night. Not on the first day of the postseason. Not after all of the painful second-half collapses and all of the excruciating last-second losses. Not after what he'd personally gone through this year.

Defeated

Argyle Report — Andrew Platek, with Jones sprinting by, lunged in and committed a foul with 4.4 seconds left on the clock. They would force Duke into a corner, to either make both free throws and hope to get the ball back for another shot, or attempt a basketball rarity — an intentional missed free throw. Williams played the odds. But Tre Jones beat them.

Column: The NCAA's amateurism model isn't about education

The Daily Tar Heel — NCAA President Mark Emmert wants you to believe in him... He wants you to believe that student-athletes are students first... He wants you to believe that financial compensation for athletic competition would, quite drastically, alter the college landscape in a way that could deteriorate fairness... Mark Emmert wants you to believe a lot of things. Don't.

'Free Like a Bird': The Flight of Gregory Cheng, UNC's Campus Whistler

Medium — Gregory Cheng didn't understand. He tried - was trying - but he just couldn't. Chapel Hill was home to him. The UNC-Chapel Hill campus, the surrounding communities, all of it... And on the afternoon of September 17, 2019, as Cheng shakily retreated from a mass of frustrated UNC Police officers, it was seemingly getting taken away from him.

'We've got to play better' - Argyle Report

Argyle Report — “This is not a cut toward Gardner-Webb, but do you think in the summer I was thinking ‘I hope we win this game?’” Williams said after the game. “Come on, we’re trying to be the best team we can be.”

Column: In spite of the NCAA, Fair Pay To Play Act will level the playing field

The Daily Tar Heel — If the NCAA truly values anything, it’s the association’s absolute dominance over the hundreds of universities and thousands of student-athletes that it governs, as well as its business model built on the foundation of collegiate amateurism...

Jeremiah Francis scouting report for 2019-20 season

Jeremiah Francis scouting report for 2019-20 season

Busting Brackets — Former Pickerington Central star and three-star point guard Jeremiah Francis will be stepping onto Chapel Hill campus this fall for UNC Basketball, but there's no guarantee that the stocky 6-foot-3 Ohio native will be donning the famed baby blues during the 2019-2020 college basketball season.

Gonzaga Basketball: NBA Draft profile on Bulldog big man Brandon Clarke

Busting Brackets — "Great players create their own archetypes." This one six-word sentence, tweeted by Red Team Scouting's Eustaccio Raulli, perfectly encapsulates Gonzaga Basketball's Brandon Clarke, the short-armed, moon-shoe-bouncy forward whose NBA Draft stock is in limbo.

Campbell's Chris Clemons is doing things his way

FanSided — He only received three NCAA Basketball college scholarships. He scored over 3,000 points in the NCAA, finishing third all-time in scoring. He rocks the number three for Allen Iverson. This is Chris Clemons.

Erin Matson Is Worth The Hype

Medium — “[Prior to the season] I was going to retire, and one of my colleagues said to me, ‘Why would you retire when you have Erin Matson on your team?’” Shelton recalls lightheartedly. “I’m like, ‘You’re right.’”

COLUMN: Roster turnover and the significance of Cole Anthony's recruitment - Argyle Report

Argyle Report — UNC needs to sign Cole Anthony after the departures of four starters and a 6th man to graduation the NBA Draft. Why? Because the 6-3 guard is just what UNC's offense needs to keep humming.

UNC Basketball: The Kenny Williams Dilemma

UNC Basketball: The Kenny Williams Dilemma

Keeping It Heel — Fourteen games into the final season of his collegiate basketball career, it's fair to say that things could be going smoother for North Carolina's Kenny Williams. Despite posting respectable averages of 8.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists and one steal per game, all while communicating constantly on the defensive end and throwing his body around for the sake of winning games, his play can be reasonably considered underwhelming based on what we've seen from the 6-foot-3 dynamo in the past.

Column: 31 thoughts on 'Halloween'

The Daily Tar Heel — The movie, in brief, is dope. It’s very fun, and I had plenty of not-so-serious thoughts about a not-so-serious horror movie that was far more entertaining than it was frightening.

Whatever Trevor: Analyzing Justin Jackson's First NBA Bucket

The Daily Tar Heel — To the average onlooker, his shot didn’t seem so special. Jackson got the ball at the top of the key and drove to the basket, stopping midway to release a floater that grazed the rim, going in and beating the shot clock. To the average eye, it seemed like a basic basketball play. But really, this play — from the setup to the shot to the aftermath, lasting all of seven seconds — deserves acute dissection, with each individual moment containing valuable information that no Tar Heel should miss.

Whatever Trevor: One less hockey fight

The Daily Tar Heel — We were in one of the suites. We did not buy tickets to sit in one of the suites. In our ignorant confusion, we mistook the suite number for the number on our tickets — they matched, after all. Plus, the suite was unlocked, so we figured we were in the right spot. So we sat there and enjoyed the game. I cannot say with confidence, however, that our suitemates enjoyed the game with our company.

UNC Basketball: 2020-21 season preview for the Tar Heels

Busting Brackets — Last year was bad. Despite heading into the season with the No. 2 ranked recruiting class - including high school phenom Cole Anthony, five-star center Armando Bacot, and four-star guard Anthony Harris and three-star guard Jeremiah Francis - and two of the most sought-after graduate-transfers (Christian Keeling and Justin Pierce), UNC Basketball fell flat.
