Lucas: Complicated - University of North Carolina Athletics

1 month ago | goheels.com | Adam Lucas

March 22, 2025 | Men's Basketball, Featured Writers, Adam LucasBy Adam LucasMILWAUKEE—This isn't going to be easy. The Carolina basketball season ended Friday night at the hands of Ole Miss, 71-64. Now we have to assess how to feel about that. Any end of the Carolina basketball season is bad. Well, except for 1982, and 1993, and 2005, and 2009, and 2017, and some of you still remember 1957.

By Adam Lucas1. Frustrating end to the season in Milwaukee, as Carolina falls to Ole Miss 71-64. 2. If you've watched this team, you've seen that game. For one of many times this year, Carolina played poorly and found itself with a 22-point deficit, then had to furiously rally to try to claw back into it. They got as close as two on a three-point play from RJ Davis with 1:09 left, but Sean Pedulla answered with a three-pointer. The Virginia Tech transfer had 14 second half points and 20 for the game.

March 19, 2025 | Men's Basketball, Featured Writers, Adam LucasBy Adam LucasDAYTON—That felt good. Carolina opened NCAA Tournament play by obliterating San Diego State in the First Four, rolling to a 95-68 victory that was not as close as the score indicated. After 51 hours of hate, it was a satisfying win. We'll get to that. But it was also a very, very good display of basketball. Carolina quite simply did everything better than San Diego State.

By Adam Lucas1. Carolina put on a clinic in dispatching San Diego State, 95-68. The Tar Heels have now won seven of the past 11 games by double figures. 2. That might be the most complete game Carolina has played this year--especially when given the level of competition. The Tar Heels defended fiercely, shot accurately and simply did everything well. It was a beauty to watch.

March 13, 2025 | Men's Basketball, Featured Writers, Adam LucasBy Adam LucasCHARLOTTE—There it is.

He also played through a rolled ankle to score some of Carolina's biggest points of the game. He came into the game averaging 21.8 points against Wake in his career and did it again on Thursday. 2.
Lucas: Different - University of North Carolina Athletics

By Adam LucasCHARLOTTE—Now there's proof. For the better part of a month, close observers have known this was a different North Carolina team than the one that struggled to a 14-11 record after 25 games. That was the stretch when the Tar Heels piled up a program-record ten one-possession games. One of those came in South Bend, when the Heels squeezed out a 74-73 win over Notre Dame on a miraculous Elliot Cadeau four-point play in the final seconds.

By Adam Lucas1. Carolina overwhelmed Notre Dame in the ACC Tournament opener, beating the Irish 76-56. 2. The Tar Heels largely did it from three on Wednesday. Carolina went 13-for-28 from the arc. That continues some much improved shooting over the last eight games. During that stretch, the Heels are 87-191 from three, a remarkable 45.5 percent. It wasn't long ago this was a team that was on track to be one of the worst three-point shooting teams in UNC history. 3.
