Calapari sarcastically joked about Arkansas’ challenging non-con schedule: “And then we play an easy one - North Carolina in the Dean Dome.” #UNC

Duke scored before half to knot it at 1 and then went ahead after a handball in a box gave the Blue Devils a penalty in the 49’. #UNC answers with 2 of their own to go ahead 3-2 with goals from Blum, her second of the night, and Izzy Stratton in the 71’ and ‘74. Dorrance is LIT

#UNC hires 2023 Nuggets NBA Champion head coach Mike Malone. Administration must have decided that waiting until the end of the NBA season on April 12th for Billy Donovan was too long, prioritizing locking in a coach before the opening of the portal at midnight after the game.

Officially official five days after the VCU loss.
Sources: Hubert Davis will not return as North Carolina’s head coach, per me and @jeffborzello. He’s spent the last five years as the head coach of the Tar Heels, compiling a 125-54 record. UNC reached the national title game in his first year there.
