North Carolina is fresh off a trouncing of American University, outscoring the Eagles 61-24 in the second half and cruising to a 52-point victory.
It’s still early, but through three games — one against the AP No. 1 ranked team — pieces are starting to fit into place for this revamped Tar Heel squad. It’s evident how much talent runs up and down Coach Hubert Davis’s roster, but the designation of roles was a huge question mark approaching 2024-25. Putting the puzzle together is an art, especially in college sports, that takes time. North Carolina looks to have taken a significant step in that process with point guard Elliot Cadeau.
