NASHVILLE---Deep into just about every summer night in an empty Dean Dome were Tyler Nickel and Jalen Washington trading makes from 3-point range. Anything
As things stand, only two 2024-25 UNC basketball players have entered the transfer portal. Sophomore point guard Elliot Cadeau has already found his new home at Michigan, and his former teammate, Jalen Washington, now also finds himself heading to a different conference.
UNC basketball has lost only two players to this year's transfer portal in Elliot Cadeau and Jalen Washington. Those two, who each spent multiple years in Chapel Hill, entered their names early last week and immediately drew interest from several programs.
With the transfer portal officially opening on Monday morning, it was only a matter of time before hundreds of programs experienced player departures. The UNC basketball program is no different, with two key rotation players already entering the portal on just the second day.
The center is going to try and get a fresh start somewhere. The Transfer Portal for college basketball opened on Monday, and now that UNC is out of the NCAA Tournament, players and coaches have been having their year-end conversations about where things stand and what’s up going into the 2025-26 season.
Sean Pedulla had 20 points and Dre Davis added 15 as sixth-seeded Ole Miss staved off 11th-seeded North Carolina's second-half rally for a 71-64 victory in the first round of the NCAA Tournament's South Region on Friday.
The first eight minutes on the clock in the UNC basketball team's ACC Tournament semifinal battle against the archrival Duke Blue Devils on Friday night took about 30 minutes to complete.
UNC basketball forward Jalen Washington has enjoyed a few encouraging moments this season, the 6-foot-10, 235-pound Indiana native's third as a Tar Heel after arriving in Chapel Hill as a four-star prospect.
Due to a knee injury, UNC basketball junior forward Jalen Washington sat out of Tuesday night's 73-65 road loss to the Pitt Panthers. But the reeling Tar Heels (13-9, 6-4 ACC) expect the 6-foot-10, 235-pound Indiana native to be back in the mix for their rivalry bout versus the No.
UNC basketball is on the road battling the Pitt Panthers (13-6, 4-4 ACC) on Tuesday night, as the Tar Heels (13-8, 6-3 ACC) look to respond to their recent two-game losing skid with a second straight win.
How can we evaluate the Tar Heels? After an exhausting and battering run in non-conference play, North Carolina has settled in nicely into their ACC schedule.
Jalen Washington has 12 blocks between the past three UNC basketball outings, coinciding with the Tar Heels' season-best winning streak. Those dozen swats are the most by a UNC basketball player in a three-game stretch since Brice Johnson recorded 13 across the Tar Heels' first three wins in the 2016 NCAA Tournament.
North Carolina emerged with a victory against the NC State Wolfpack Saturday night in Raleigh, 63-61. With the Tar Heels winning at the break 26-20, it was the lowest scoring first half between the two rivals in 37 years, dating back to the 1988 ACC Tournament.
The second half wasn’t pretty, but the Tar Heels found a way to win. UNC’s 63-61 win over NC State in Raleigh on Saturday afternoon was certainly not a game that will be going on a highlight reel of excellent basketball, but the Tar Heels found a way to scratch and claw their way to a victory.
Jalen Washington has drawn a starting nod in all eight UNC basketball games as a junior. But across the three-game losing streak, dropping the No. 20-ranked Tar Heels to 4-4 overall, the 6-foot-10, 235-pound big man hasn't performed to the level of expectation that comes with being the storied program's full-time starter in the post.
Jalen Washington scored a career-high 18 points and No. 10 North Carolina enjoyed a big second half to run away from American in a 107-55 victory Friday night at Chapel Hill, N.C.
