North Carolina’s Drake Powell is heading to the Brooklyn Nets. Powell was the first North Carolina player selected during Wednesday night's 2025 NBA Draft. The Atlanta Hawks technically drafted Powell with the 22nd pick. However, Powell will play for the Nets, who acquired the rights to the pick in a trade. The Nets received the 22nd pick and Terance Mann in a three-team deal involving the Hawks and the Boston Celtics. The Hawks received Kristaps Porzingis and a second-round pick.

Whenever Kane Kepley goes up to bat, a sea of stuffed animals rise out of the Boshamer Stadium crowd as Disney's The Lion King music plays over the speakers. Pat Welter reports on the origins of this new and fun tradition. It's OK. At Carolina, Kain Kepley is king, but he didn't start that way. A lot of twists and turns, I'd say, not a lot of. Looks out of high school and another one that Kepley will reach up and make the catch.

UNC 3rd basemen Gavin Gallaher hit 2 home runs in UNC's 14-4 win over Oklahoma in the regional championship. Hard not to be impressed by Carolina this weekend and nobody more than the team they just beat. Oklahoma manager Skip Johnson stopped on his way out of the press conference and said that's a team that can win a national championship. Hitting, pitching, base running. Carolina did it. in the Chapel Hill Regional, nobody more than Gavin Gallagher.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Sam Angelo hit two home runs, including a three-run shot to cap a six-run first inning, and No. 5 overall seed North Carolina rolled to an 11-5 victory over Oklahoma in the nightcap of the Chapel Hill Regional on Saturday night. The second-seeded Sooners (36-21) will play an elimination game against No. 3 seed Nebraska on Sunday. That winner would need to beat the host Tar Heels (44-12) on Sunday night and again Monday to advance to the super regionals.

The Bulls (31-25) trailed 7-2 into the last of the eighth, but scored three times in the eighth and ninth. Durham saw runs driven in the last frame by Andrew Stevenson, Kim Ha-Seong and Bob Seymour, but Dom Keegan bounced into a force out to close out the game.

I worked on Father's day but it didn't feel like it thanks to an incredible US Open and my kids making my morning. Breakfast in bed and a Pre-K Q&A show they know me well. Maybe too well. https://t.co/CGloITRn07
