    UNC Sports Biorhythms for UNC v ECU, 8 pm Start in Chapel Hill

    That's in 36 minutes a game and 31% from three. Judging from what they're averaging a game, he's their offense. I expect Trimble might make it a long night for him.

    Off-Topic I didn’t let my kids believe in Santa

    Off-Topic Christmas season discussions. (2025)
