UNC basketball releases its full non-conference schedule for 2025-2026 season
Which matchups are you most excited for? As the UNC basketball team inches closer to the start of its 2025-2026 season, anticipation continues building in Chapel Hill. With the exception of Seth Trimble, James Brown and Zayden High, everyone is a newcomer to the Tar Heels' star-studded roster. North Carolina hit the transfer portal hard: bringing in 7-foot center Henri Veesaar, likely starting point guard Kyan Evans, hometown kid Jarin Stevenson, plus a pair of shooting guards in Jonathan Powell and Jaydon Young. Hubert Davis continued to showcase his recruiting prowess, with UNC's 2025 recruiting class including Top-10 recruit Caleb Wilson, plus a pair of combo guards in Derek Dixon and Isaiah Denis. The Tar Heels previously teased fans about their upcoming season, releasing a few non-conference matchups. North Carolina released the rest of their non-conference opponents on Friday, now allowing fans to prepare which nights they'll be in the Dean Dome, on the road, or on their couches. Outside of a road clash with Kentucky, a neutral-site battle with Ohio State, plus a pair of Fort Myers (Fla.) Tip-Off games against Michigan State and St. Bonaventure, you'll notice one eye-popping characteristic about UNC's non-conference schedule: every matchup is in the Dean Dome. The Tar Heels' first official home game will be Monday, November 3 against Central Arkansas, which became Division I in 2010. Four days later, North Carolina will host a highly-anticipated matchup against Kansas, which won in Allen Fieldhouse last year. Radford (Nov. 11), NC Central (Nov. 14) and Navy (Nov. 18) are all winnable games, then UNC faces a strong Atlantic 10 program in St. Bonaventure, followed by a Thanksgiving Day game against Tom Izzo's Spartans. Rupp Arena will be rocking on December 2, as will the Dean Dome on December 7 against Georgetown. USC-Upstate, ETSU and ECU are all teams the Tar Heels should beat handily, while Ohio State will provide a strong challenge.

UNC basketball 2024-25 player review: Seth Trimble
The 2024-25 UNC basketball season is in the books, and with that, it's time for our player season reviews for the campaign. We're continuing our review with guard Seth Trimble, who split his junior year between a starting role and the Tar Heels' sixth man. Though Trimble is easily a starting-caliber player, he proved to be more effective off the bench later in the year, acting as a key cog in North Carolina's run to an NCAA Tournament berth. Advertisement Trimble elevated his offensive game big-time, adding dunks and a more consistent jumper to his arsenal. Trimble's most underestimated skill is his rebounding ability, as he led UNC in boards before Ven-Allen Lubin's late-season ascension. Trimble almost left Chapel Hill during the 2024 offseason, but quickly removed himself from the transfer portal. I like to think without Trimble, the Tar Heels don't play in the NCAA Tournament this year. Trimble prides himself on wearing that North Carolina uniform – and he is a vocal leader. With RJ Davis gone, Trimble will be the guy for UNC in the fall. 2024-25 stats: 11.6 points, 5 rebounds, 1.4 steals, 1.3 assists per game, 42.8 percent field goal shooting in 34 games (18 starts) Season in Review North Carolina guard Seth Trimble, who starred in high school at Menomonee Falls, tries to get around Mississippi forward Jaemyn Brakefield during the second half of their first round NCAA tournament game Friday at Fiserv Forum. Trimble's return was much-needed for the Tar Heels, which entered their 2024-2025 campaign with a much younger, more inexperienced – albeit talented – roster. Advertisement When North Carolina rolled with a 4-guard lineup early in the season, Trimble was the team's best rebounder. Trimble could take over ball-handling duties from Davis and Elliot Cadeau, spot up on the perimeter or drive the basket. Trimble could give UNC 10 points on any given night, or space the floor and keep opponents guessing. There were plenty of strong performance for Trimble during his junior year, but his best game came during a 102-96 overtime win over Boston College in January, when he scored 18 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. What's next?

Mandatory Credit: Jeff Hanisch-Imagn Images With RJ out of eligibility and Elliot Cadeau gone, I fully expect Trimble to come back and run the Tar Heels offense in the fall. Trimble will end his senior season as North Carolina's leading scorer – and create some NBA Draft hype for himself in the process. Advertisement We know that Trimble will get to play alongside incoming 5-star power forward Caleb Wilson, who is one of Hubert Davis' greatest recruiting victories as UNC's head coach, plus incoming 4-star combo guards Derek Dixon and Isaiah Denis. Will Trimble etch himself in Tar Heel lore during the 2025-2026 college basketball season? Stay tuned.

UNC basketball tabbed a way-too-early top 25 team by 247Sports
UNC basketball tabbed a way-too-early top 25 team by 247Sports UNC is ranked way ahead of its next basketball season, but can it finish the year ranked? We're not even a week removed from Florida's comeback against Houston in the National Championship game, but people are already talking about the 2025-2026 college basketball season. Some of that chatter features your North Carolina Tar Heels. UNC is still searching for its starting point guard through the transfer portal, contacting the likes of Xaivion Lee and Tre Holloman. Seth Trimble is returning for senior year, a major boost to a North Carolina squad with unproven leadership, while Caleb Wilson's pending arrival and Henri Veesaar's commitment give the Tar Heels a suddenly-lethal frontcourt. Part of preseason predictions feature Way-Too-Early rankings, but teams rarely finish in the spots media outlets predict them in. 247Sports has UNC ranked 23rd in its Way-Too-early Top 25 for the 2025-2026 season. Check out the reasons why North Carolina landed the ranking it did: "North Carolina's top-five of Seth Trimble, Drake Powell, Caleb Wilson, Henri Veesaar and Ven-Allen Lubin can coalesce into one of the best teams in the ACC," Isaac Trotter wrote. "The Veesaar addition is enormous — literally and figuratively — but losing Ian Jackson to the transfer portal on Monday is a blow. UNC has a lot of moves left on the docket and the pressure is on to find a difference-making guard who can pass, dribble and shoot." Lubin is a key piece of the Tar Heels' roster puzzle, who doesn't get enough credit for his late-season ascension into the starting lineup. After flip-flopping with Jalen Washington at center, Lubin's consistent productivity made him a starter from February on. As Trotter says above, once UNC lands a starting point guard for its upcoming season, the roster picture looks a lot more clear. Combo guards Derek Dixon and Isaiah Denis are highly-anticipated arrivals, but you want them to have help.
