Plenty of details included here on UNC stakeholder meetings explaining the future plans for the Dean E. Smith Center and the internal conflict that has erupted in recent months.

North Carolina is now 48-2 when leading by 10+ at halftime in the NCAA Tournament. Both losses were under Hubert Davis. 2022 National Title vs Kansas 2026 Rd of 64 vs VCU

@UNC_and_CFB Good catch. 20.13 in 2022 as well.

@GSBarnes23 have you noticed yet that UNC is 20.33 in KenPom, exactly the same as last year, and ranked one spot lower?

Lee Roberts and Steve Newmark watched from the crowd as VCU staged the largest comeback in NCAAT first round history against UNC on Thursday. Their perspective will determine how Carolina basketball moves forward, writes @GSBarnes23. Read (+): on3.com/teams/north-ca…

UNC has lost three consecutive games to close a season for the first time in 56 years. The facts and the game analysis from @GSBarnes23 (+): on3.com/teams/north-ca…

One of the better defensive stretches we've seen from UNC in a quite awhile. When the shots aren't falling, UNC has to lock in, which it's doing thus far tonight.

VCU’s athleticism is going to be a problem for UNC tonight. How Hubert Davis chooses to adjust to limit the Rams’ driving lanes will be a key factor.

Good segment w/ Governor @JoshStein_ as he shared his NCAA Tournament bracket picks as well as offering his insight on the current college athletics landscape and the Smith Center debate.

One of my favorite March graphs, this looks at how well teams play up to competition level. X axis is team strength Y axis is how much better you play against great teams on your schedule Teams way above the middle play great against big teams, worse against bad teams 👇

The debate surrounding the Dean E. Smith Center's future has reached the governor's office. Gov. Josh Stein shared his perspective on the arena topic with @TAshleyIC and @GSBarnes23 on Wednesday. Free read: on3.com/teams/north-ca…

@WattsBart @TAshleyIC Yes, for sure. Fan base segments expand and shrink as the years go by, but it’s worth noting how they trend and how loud they become.

@GSBarnes23 @TAshleyIC Nice IC Daily on defining NCAAT success. Was just commenting today to a friend about the fan base "camps" that have formed you referenced. I know there are always critics, but doesnt the noise level of these camps tell us something about program health?

It's finally March Madness, which is when programs are compared by statistics and financial trends. @GSBarnes23 breaks down UNC's men's basketball spending compared to its peers. Read (+): on3.com/teams/north-ca…

Roy Williams coaching tree regeneration on the horizon?

Since I know all y'all were clamoring for a really hard-to-read table: Here's the Torvik top-70 *since Feb 15 only* along with their ranks in each category *prior* to that date. Example UNC's TO rate rank was 11th thru 2/14 and 219th after. @RellDMC @GSBarnes23 @MattNorlander

BREAKING: UNC's Caleb Wilson just earned 2nd Team All-American honors and will have his jersey honored in the Smith Center 🐏 Major recognition for the Tar Heel star. Details: on3.com/teams/north-ca…

for the 1-6 seeds: difficulty of path to sweet 16, elite 8, & final 4 assuming no upsets (numbers in table = avg. kenpom rank of the opponents they must beat)

@TAshleyIC @kylegray007 And the played the toughest schedule in the country

@kylegray007 Probably a better question for @GSBarnes23 but Kansas is 21 in the .NET, 9-9 in Q1 games, 16 in the WAB and plays is a stacked Big12 and there’s the D. Peterson factor.

@TAshleyIC How is kansas a 4 seed in ncaa basketball tournament with 10 losses? Please explain

INTEL: Behind UNC’s NCAA Tournament bid lies a more complex situation about expectations, roster construction and Hubert Davis. @GSBarnes23 shares what sources are saying about the program’s status. Inside the state of UNC Basketball (+): on3.com/teams/north-ca…
