Summary

Inside Carolina's senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley to discuss the challenge ahead for Coach Hubert Davis and the North Carolina basketball team. UNC faces it's toughest stretch of games without Caleb Wilson. Wilson's fractured hand will keep the all-everything freshman sidelined for an undeterminant amount of time. Carolina hosts Pittsburgh on Saturday and travels to NC State on Tuesday. The Heels currently slot as a five seed in NCAA Tournament projections after facing the easier portion of the schedule. With seven games left, five being Q1, can Coach Davis and his staff keep the team playing well enough in Wilson's absence to stay in the postseason mix? Barnes and Ashley discuss this and more on today's episode. **Call to Action:** **Subscribe:** Follow 'Inside Carolina' wherever you get your podcasts to never miss an episode! **Review:** Leave us a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify to help us reach more Tar Heel fans! **Visit:** Explore http://www.InsideCarolina.com for breaking news, recruiting updates, and expert commentary on all things UNC sports.
