glen25+FollowUNC’s real transfer portal win: Keeping its starsNorth Carolina’s biggest victory in the transfer portal isn’t just about new faces—it’s about keeping game-changers like Melkart Abou-Jaoude and Jordan Shipp in Chapel Hill.

Their decisions give UNC a solid foundation and some much-needed stability, especially after losing other key players. With the portal window still open, it’ll be interesting to see how these moves shape the Tar Heels’ future.

Ryan Lopez+FollowUNC defense stunned as SMU lights it upUNC’s defense, which had been rock-solid all season, just got torched by SMU in a way we haven’t seen in years.

Boopie Miller ran the show with 27 points and 12 assists, and SMU had five players in double figures.

AmberAbyss+FollowUNC’s defense struggles in tough SMU lossUNC fans, that SMU game was a wake-up call—defense really does make or break a team.
