From Pod World Headquarters, this is the Carolina Insider from Learfield.

0:07.8

We're back. Time for another edition of the Carolina Insider, Jones and Adam here with you.

0:13.7

It is 2026, and it is pod and time.

0:19.8

We got a busy show, Carolina, a couple of games since we last joined you, Florida State and SMU.

0:28.5

Tarillo split those games, get a quality win against Florida State who has proven to be playing some good basketball.

0:35.1

They also took Duke to the Wire this past weekend.

0:37.6

And then, boy, Carolina on the wrong side of an offensive avalanche from SMU on Saturday.

0:43.7

And we'll talk a little bit.

0:45.0
