After an exhausting and battering run in non-conference play, North Carolina has settled in nicely into their ACC schedule. The Tar Heels (11-6, 4-1) took down crosstown rival NC State on Saturday afternoon, marking their third straight conference win.
Jalen Washington blocked a potential game-tying attempt from the Wolfpack in the waning seconds, marking another escape act on the road for Hubert Davis and his blossoming squad. Ian Jackson was spectacular again, but key moments from Washington and Cadeau pushed North Carolina over the hump.
We have surpassed the halfway point of the 2024-25 season, and it’s hard to not think about what’s at stake for the Tar Heels regarding the NCAA Tournament.
