| UNC Men's Basketball: Close Calls, Big Issues | 12 Jan 2026 | 00:01:50 | |
North Carolina Mens Basketball Squeaks Out Victory Over Wake Forest, Struggles with Closing GamesThe seventeenth-ranked North Carolina mens basketball team managed to secure an eighty-seven to eighty-four win over Wake Forest, but not without a tense finish. The Tar Heels built a significant lead in the second half, only to let the Demon Deacons claw back, showcasing a recurring issue of not closing out games.This season, North Carolina has watched double-digit advantages disappear against Navy, Ohio State, and now Wake Forest. Coach Hubert Davis and his team have struggled to pull away when they had the chance, allowing opponents to stay in the game and make things uncomfortable.Defensively, the Tar Heels have been lacking, with Wake Forest hitting over forty-six percent of their threes in the second half and fifty-three percent from the field overall. First-year forward Caleb Wilson had a hot start, scoring seventeen points on seven-for-seven shooting in the first half, but was barely involved in the second half.As the ACC season heats up, North Carolina needs to find that relentless intensity to close out games. Without it, these close calls could turn into damaging losses that hurt their NCAA Tournament resume. Great teams finish strong, and the Tar Heels know they are not there yet.

| Teen's Trial: No Racism or Sexism in Mass Shooting | 30 Dec 2025 | 00:01:42 | |
In a recent development, the defense of Austin Thompson, the Raleigh teenager accused of a deadly mass shooting in 2022, has filed a motion to block any mention of racism or sexism as motives in his upcoming trial. The defense argues that there is no evidence supporting these claims, as Thompsons note blaming humans for destroying the planet showed no specific goals, and his computer and cellphone checks revealed no signs of racist or sexist views. The defense also points out credibility issues with two neighbors who backed the civil suits story, one of whom disavowed his affidavit and the other gave conflicting statements. Thompsons school records show no discipline for bias-related issues, and people who knew him never reported such views. The criminal trial is set to start on February 2nd in Wake County Superior Court. Checkout Solipillow.com DNN | The Daily News Now! The world’s first global local news network. Every city.
