Covering Carolina sports beyond just men's basketball and football — with the most complete women's basketball coverage
Carolina lost one of its legendary players Thursday morning with the passing of Walter Davis. Affectionately known as “Sweet D” during his time at Carolina for his sweet, pure jump shot, Davis died of natural causes while visiting family in Charlotte.
Two stars who started for their Carolina teams — guard Caleb Love and wing Kennedy Todd-Williams — headline 11 former Tar Heels who will play for other colleges this season. Love’s Arizona Wildcats and Todd-Williams’ Ole Miss Rebels are each ranked No. 12, and both quickly bonded with their new teammates on overseas trips last summer.
CHAPEL HILL — Upon further review, the call was reversed. No, this wasn’t a referee overturning a call. Indya Nivar overturned her decision 17 months earlier as a senior five-star recruit at Apex Friendship High School, where she was Ms. North Carolina Basketball, state Gatorade Player of the Year and a McDonald’s All-American.
Carolina linebacker Power Echols, running back Omarion Hampton and co-defensive coordinator Charlton Warren answer media questions Wednesday morning. With the Campbell game Military Appreciation Day, Warren talks about his time in the military and what it means to him.

CHAPEL HILL — This wasn’t how it was drawn up for the No. 3-ranked North Carolina women’s soccer team. How the Tar Heels respond from their sudden departure from the ACC tournament will ultimately determine how the season is viewed.
It’s amazing what Sam Howell can do when he has time to throw. After getting sacked 40 times in the first seven weeks, the Philadelphia Eagles only sacked Howell once during their tougher-than-expected 38–31 victory over the Washington Commanders, in a career day for the quarterback in his first season as QB1.
The pattern is eerily similar to last season for North Carolina’s football team: lose two consecutive ACC games, including blowing a lead to Georgia Tech, and fall out of the AP Top 25.
