Coast to Coast: What's 'Real' for UNC Hoops?

JoeyPowellby: Joey Powell01/12/26

After a week off during which North Carolina had time to work on itself, the Tar Heels dealt with more of their recent issues in hanging on to eke past Wake Forest at home. While the Tar Heels still stand at 14-2 on the season, Sean Moran and Sherrell McMillan join Joey Powell to try and decipher how much of that record is legitimate and how much of it is a mirage.

The Coast to Coast is delivered by Salvio’s Pizzeria in Cary, an award-winning, go-to local pizza spot for game days, catering, family meals, events, and more. They’ve been serving Tar Heel fans for over twenty years. Pickup, delivery, or dine in. More info at https://www.salviospizza.com.
