TommyAshleyby: Tommy Ashley11/04/25TAshleyIC

North Carolina routed Central Arkansas in convincing fashion on Monday night, 94-54, with Caleb Wilson leading the way. Wilson dunked his way to a game high 22 points while Henri Veesaar put up 14 points and 10 boards. Kyan Evans (15), Seth Trimble (12) and finally-cleared Luka Bogavac (10) paced the Heels in the win. Inside Carolina’s lead analyst Rob Harrington, former Tar Heel Justin Jackson and Tommy Ashley break down the win from the highs to the concerns as Kansas coming calling in the Smith Center on Friday night.
