Summary

North Carolina's past trips to Atlanta to face Georgia Tech have been adventurous over the years. The Yellow Jackets have given UNC fits across the sports down in Georgia and while the 2026 Tar Heels are - on paper - a much better team that Damon Stoudamire's group, winning is never a given down there. Inside Carolina's senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley to preview this weekend's game and the IC pair discusses the keys and the need for Hubert Davis and his team to get the win on Saturday. **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.
