North Carolina basketball has only missed the NCAA Tournament five times over the last 51 years, but last year the Tar Heels needed an additional March victory to secure their spot in the round of 64. North Carolina went 20-12 during the 2024-25 college basketball regular season before winning two ACC Tournament games and being selected for the First Four of the 2025 NCAA Tournament. In the NIL era and with all the money the SEC generates, could the SEC make it more difficult for blue bloods like North Carolina to secure top players from the college basketball transfer portal to build sustained success?

North Carolina basketball roster news
The Tar Heels secured their fourth commitment from the transfer portal with Pittsboro, North Carolina native Jarin Stevenson returning to his hometown school for his junior season. The 6-foot-11 forward averaged 5.4 points and 3.4 rebounds over 18.7 minutes per game at Alabama last season. He was a top-50 recruit out of high school in the Class of 2023, according to rankings by 247Sports, before signing with the Crimson Tide.
Stevenson provides size for a North Carolina program that lost two of its three forwards who averaged at least 15 minutes per game last year following Jalen Washington in the transfer portal and Jae’Lyn Withers out of eligibility. North Carolina often featured a guard-heavy lineup and added impactful freshmen guards from both high school and the transfer portal to go the route again, but Stevenson’s size will be integral to matchup against opposing team’s top big men and adding a paint presence for the Tar Heels in the 2025-26 college basketball season.

Verstappen finished second to Piastri at the last race in Jeddah after being penalised in their tussle at the race's first corner and is 12 points behind the in-from Australian in the nascent 2025 standings, with Lando Norris between them in the other McLaren."People forget a little bit - last year was his second year," said Verstappen of the 24-year-old Piastri, who has now won five of the last 17 grands prix."Now he's in his third year, and he's very solid. "He's very calm in his approach, and I […]

Why this Premier League title meant everything to Liverpool
When Alexis Mac Allister struck the goal that made Liverpool’s title feel that bit more secure, the noise that followed prompted principal owner John W. Henry to adjust his hearing aid.Yes, this isn’t baseball, John. This is football and this is Liverpool, where Henry and an entire generation of Liverpool supporters were experiencing something for the first time. It felt like the roof on the new Anfield Road stand was about to fly off. The boom at the other end seemed to rumble from the bowels of the Kop.All day long in the city there was a sense that the place was going to go up, and at the moment of reckoning the detonation was even louder.AdvertisementThe central figure in this scene was the referee, Tom Bramall. For four minutes of stoppage time, the focus of the crowd fell on […]
Enzo Maresca needs more Chelsea wins to turn doubters into believers
The frustration was coming through loud and clear.“Who’s going to stay around after the final home game to see the players walk around the pitch for a lap of appreciation?” a Chelsea supporter asked as he made his way to Stamford Bridge on the London Underground on Saturday. “What’s the point of doing that after everything we have seen this season,” he continued, his friend alongside him agreeing.AdvertisementElsewhere in the carriage, with the destination of Fulham Broadway just a few stops away, there were animated discussions about how head coach Enzo Maresca could get Cole Palmer back into form, and whether he was the right man to be in charge.Apart from the odd bewildered tourist or local going about their day, the vast majority of people in the carriage were heading to what most regarded as a ‘must-win’ match at […]
Emirates Stadium, European fortress
The home dressing room at the Emirates Stadium was built to Arsene Wenger’s specifications, but it is adorned with the language of Mikel Arteta.There is a treatment area where the walls are emblazoned with words such as “unity” and “trust”. In a corridor, there is a stencil that simply says, “This is our time.”The key messages are imprinted on the players just before they enter the tunnel. On one wall, a list reads: “Our non-negotiables: discipline, leadership, dominate, compete.” On another, in white lettering on a red background: “Fight until the end.” (James McNicholas/The Athletic)It is this mentality that has helped turn the Emirates Stadium into a European fortress (at least for the men’s side — Arsenal’s women’s team lost to Lyon at the Emirates earlier this month and had to overturn the deficit in France yesterday to reach the […]
