The North Carolina Tar Heels are fighting for their NCAA Tournament lives, and they played one of their best games of the season in beating NC State on Wednesday night. Here's all the UNC news of the week.

UNC basketball dominated N.C. State from start to finish at the Smith Center on a snow day in Chapel Hill. Here's what stood out.

RJ Davis totaled 18 points, two rebounds, and three assists in the UNC basketball team's 67-66 home win over the Pitt Panthers on Saturday. The fifth-year Tar Heel guard shot 6-for-12 from the field, 3-for-5 from three, and 3-for-4 at the foul line across his 38 minutes on the floor in the thrilling victory.

After making it two wins in a row, UNC basketball head coach, Hubert Davis, spoke out about the progress of his team in the home stretch.

UNC basketball graduate guard and reigning ACC Player of the Year RJ Davis is leading the Tar Heels (14-10, 7-5 ACC) in points per game while climbing the all-time ACC scoring list, albeit in what has been a subpar campaign for the blueblood program.

Snowy conditions across Chapel Hill

Despite a winter storm that led to the cancellation of classes Wednesday on both campuses, the men's basketball game between rivals NC State and North Carolina is still scheduled for Wednesday night.
