North Carolina enters Saturday night's context against Louisville with a chance to get bowl eligible and continue the positive momentum Bill Belichick's program carried out of East Hartford last week. UNC will face perhaps the best offense they've seen all season - including Miami and Notre Dame - so points will be at a premium for the Billy Edwards-led Tar Heel offense against a Cardinal defense that will give up big plays and yards. Inside Carolina's Jason Staples and Greg Barnes join Tommy Ashley for a breakdown of the matchups on both sides of the line of scrimmage, offer their key players of the game and share their score predictions on the Game Plan.   We want to thank and acknowledge our sponsors for this show: – Johnny T-shirt: The best place for Tar Heel gear, a Chapel Hill tradition since 1983, and 20-year partners with Inside Carolina.

North Carolina's rebounding woes early in the 2026-27 have been well-documented and well-discussed since the first exhibition game against Southern California. On Tuesday night in the Smith Center, Wyoming's ability to dominate the glass in the first half set off alarms on every level of the Tar Heels following, leading head coach Michael Malone to call his team 'soft' and 'question their manhood' during halftime.   UNC responded and won the game, but as Inside Carolina's Greg Barnes and Tommy Ashley discuss in today's Daily, it is a problem that Malone and his coaching staff must correct as more talented and athletic teams appear on the schedule starting with Georgia on Friday night.

Michael Malone's first regular season game as North Carolina's head coach played out in similar fashion as the three exhibition games - some good, some bad, and plenty of areas that will need vast improvement as the season progresses.

But in the end, the Heels stepped up, made free throws and staved off the Catamounts 80-72 in the Smith Center. Inside Carolina basketball analyst Rob Harrington joins Tommy Ashley to break down the win and to dig into the details of how the Tar Heels played.
