Launching a new Carolina newsletter! Check it out at the link. The first "Game of the Week" will be sent out on Tuesday; hope you'll come along for the ride. Welcome to Carolina Classics Club! , by @FreeportKid open.substack.com/pub/unccla…

This is the first time in UNC history that a pair of teammates (Wilson and Veesaar) have each had 5 dunks in the same game. Only two other times have a pair of teammates even had 4 dunks each in the same game: Stackhouse/Wallace vs. Texas in ‘95 and Wilson/Veesaar vs. Kansas.

Yeah, Wright with 75 in 2007 is the “official” record for the era in which I have complete dunk data (since 2003-04). I have 32 of the 34 games from 1995, and Rasheed Wallace had 85 dunks in those games (and certainly some more in the two missing ones).

In honor of the Derek Dixon commitment, what might Carolina’s all-time same-letter team look like? Justin Jackson George Glamack Cartwright Carmichael Bill Bunting Ray Respess Nemo Nearman Bob Bennett Brian Bersticker Bruce Buckley Joel James D’Marco Dunn

This action probably looks pretty familiar to long-time Carolina fans.

Drake Powell's sense of exploration with his pull-up jumper is paying off. Points per pull-up attempt: - 27th %ile in EYBL 16-U - 39th %ile in EYBL 17-U - 71st %ile as a HS senior. Able to get low on set ups and take long gathers while staying on balance. More consistent squaring of shoulders with added core strength will mean further gains. The leap in competition at UNC will be an adjustment, but I buy the progress over time.

Yesterday we voted on the greatest/most impactful players in UNC history. Today, it is simply a vote for your favorite players/the guys you liked the most. Thanks for helping to crowd-source these lists! all-our-ideas.citizens.is/gr…

Through 16 ACC games this season, the UNC bench has (from an on-court/off-court perspective) ranged from: Actively Helpful: Withers: 8.1 Trimble: 2.7 Not Hurting the Team: Washington: 0.2 Get the Starters Back to the Table ASAP: Okonkwo: -30.6 Wojcik: -37.1 High: -65.6

Of UNC's nine lineups with at least 20 minutes together this season, the three most-efficient ones all include Jae'Lyn Withers: Cadeau-Davis-Ingram-Withers-Bacot: 46.1 (41 min) Davis-Ryan-Ingram-Withers-Bacot: 34.5 (39 min) Davis-Trimble-Ryan-Withers-Bacot: 31.2 (41 min)

UNC's %Poss used in the primary break putbacks has been steadily decreasing since the Duke win. But the Heels have remained ultra-efficient in P&P over that stretch: Duke: 31.1% (1.61 PPP) Clem: 21.4% (1.33) UM: 20.4% (1.38) Syr: 17.2% (1.55) VT: 16.4% (1.67) UVa: 14.2% (1.88)

In 45 close-and-late minutes this season, Harrison Ingram's stats are: 8-9 2-pointers 4-7 3-pointers 4-6 FTs 84.9 TS% 28.6 pts/40 11.7 reb/40 2.7 asst/40 2.7 blocks/40 Davis is UNC's go-to guy in the clutch, but Ingram has been a great (and efficient) second option.

Armando Bacot and RJ Davis have each played more than 4,000 minutes in a Carolina uniform. The only other pair of UNC teammates to share the court with that many minutes was Sam Perkins and Matt Doherty in the 1984 postseason.

Is RJ Davis having the best 3-point season in Carolina basketball history? @FreeportKid goes Inside the Numbers (VIP): 247sports.com/college/north-…

Efficiency Margin through 13 ACC games: Cadeau-Davis: 25.7 (272 minutes) Davis-only: 6.1 (192 minutes) Cadeau-only: -0.8 (49 minutes)

On-Court/Off-Court Differential in ACC Games: Davis: 18.6 Cadeau: 15.8 Bacot: 8.1 Withers: 5.2 Ingram: 4.6 Ryan: 2.2 Trimble: 0.5 Washington: -7.6 Okonkwo: -12.9 Wojcik: -34.6 High: -67.5 e.g., UNC has an efficiency margin of 20.0 with RJ on the floor and 1.4 w/o him.

RJ Davis is shooting 54.1% (33-61) on clean 3s this season, but only 22.0% (11-50) on contested ones. He's 49.1% (26-53) on catch-and-shoot 3s, but only 31.0% (18-58) on off-the-dribble 3s. And, related to those facts: 43.8% (28-64) with Cadeau vs. 34.0% (16-47) without.
