Coast to Coast: 2025-26 Tip Off

After a crashdown against Ole Miss, the UNC basketball program sought to rebuild itself immediately after exiting the NCAA Tournament. Months of roster assembly, practice, scrimmages, and two exhibitions are now in the past and the 2025-26 edition of Carolina hoops tips off in earnest Monday night. Sean Moran and Sherrell McMillan join Joey Powell to bid adieu to the offseason and preseason, give a recruiting and roster update, and preview the Tar Heels’ first week of season games.
