Bob Donnan-Imagn Images UNC freshman Ian Jackson entered his name into the transfer portal Monday afternoon, likely signaling that his days in Chapel Hill are over. Jackson started the season coming off the bench for Carolina before earning himself a starting role in the middle of the season and finishing the season coming off the bench again after a slump in his numbers. Jackson is the third Tar Heel to enter the portal so far this year.

Benny Sieu-Imagn Images UNC point guard Elliot Cadeau has reportedly entered the transfer portal following the team’s exit from the NCAA Tournament last week. Rumors about Cadeau moving on from Chapel Hill really began to fly as soon as the Tar Heels were eliminated and now we have the confirmation. The season was certainly a disappointment by Carolina standards, and Cadeau had a very up-and-down year for his part in it.
UNC’s season ends in familiar fashion with loss to Ole Miss in the NCAA Tournament

Jeff Hanisch-Imagn Images It is only fitting that UNC’s season ended how so much of it was played. The Tar Heels fell behind big early on, played like world beaters for a stretch late, missed multiple opportunities once the game was close, only to fall short in the end. Today was no different with the Tar Heels falling behind by as many as 22 before ultimately losing 71-64. The first half was a disaster.

Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images The news cycle the last 48 hours has been exhausting. Every talking head on Earth (and even some government officials) has seemingly given their take on how much North Carolina did not deserve to darken the doorstep of the NCAA Tournament.
UNC fights back but falls just short against Duke in the ACC Tournament

Bob Donnan-Imagn Images There are probably a non-zero amount of UNC fans out there who did not see the second half of the ACC Tournament semifinals. It is hard to blame them for finding something else to do with their Friday night when the Tar Heels trailed 45-24 at halftime. Maybe in a way those who tuned out saved themselves from one of the more brutal losses of the season, as Carolina fell just short of a miraculous comeback in a 74-71 defeat.
UNC squeaks past Wake Forest to earn another shot at Duke in the ACC Tournament

Jim Dedmon-Imagn Images Carolina’s quarterfinal game of the ACC Tournament was nothing like the smooth sailing against Notre Dame on Wednesday. The Tar Heels struggled mightily in the second half, but made just enough plays late to enact revenge on Wake Forest with a 68-59 win. The Tar Heels fell behind early before clawing back in the first half with a 33-31 halftime lead. Neither team shot the ball well, but Carolina turned it over nine times that led to 10 points for the Demon Deacons.

Photo by John Byrum/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images UNC got off to a strong start in ACC Tournament play on Wednesday as they jumped out to an early lead against Notre Dame and never looked back on their way to a 76-56 victory. It was a very different game from when these two teams met in South Bend earlier this season when the Irish were an errant roll away from beating the Tar Heels. Carolina led for all but 24 seconds of the game. Notre Dame never led.
UNC suffers regular season sweep against Duke after second half lead evaporates

Photo by Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images UNC put up a much better fight in the second meeting with Duke to close out the regular season, but they failed to put the Blue Devils away despite leading for just over seven minutes in the second half. Duke wouldn’t fully roll over and it put Carolina on wrong end of a 82-69 loss. It looked early on like it might be a repeat of the game in Cameron Indoor when Duke went up by 15, but Cooper Flagg picked up his third foul and the Tar Heels went on a tear.
