Louisville outscored UNC 13-1 in the game’s final three minutes to pull away and beat the Tar Heels in ACC basketball on Wednesday night.

The North Carolina Tar Heels basketball program doesn't appear to have the "new year, new me" mindset as the calendar has flipped to 2025. The Tar Heels struggled to open up the 2025 calendar year, falling to Louisville 83-70 on the road Wednesday night.

As things stand, the UNC basketball recruiting team has extended offers to seven 2026 prospects. Reidsville High School (N.C.) power forward Kendre Harrison, who recently committed to Oregon, remains the only Tar Heel target in the cycle to announce a decision or even eliminate Hubert Davis & Co. from contention.
