    Oct 21 2024

    With only a few weeks left to go in the offseason, Jonathan is joined by Riley Davis, college hoops writer and podcaster for Heat Check College Basketball, Sleepers Media, and The Field of 68. The duo breaks down what they liked from UNC's 84-76 exhibition win over Memphis in the Hoops St. Jude® Tip Off Classic and offers their thoughts on the upcoming 2024-25 season.

    We close the show with a special point out to Tylee Craft, a Tar Heel who had an enormous impact on the Carolina community during his life and still continues to since his passing, as well as our thoughts on the ongoing recovery efforts for our fellow North Carolinians in the western part of the state.

  • S2, E3: The Peaceful Meadows of the Offseason
    Jul 30 2024

    After two months off, we start with a 30,000-foot view of the latest roster as we've now passed the 100 days mark 'til tipoff of the 2024-25 season. The PTTP crew focuses in on starting lineup options as Carolina looks to run small even with the addition of Vanderbilt big man Ven-Allen Lubin.

    Jonathan also gives a recap of the alumni/player scrimmage that he attended. And last but not least, is there the potential for a late addition to the Carolina roster coming all the way from New Zealand? Don't hold your breath, but don't count it out.

    Finally, a point out and heartfelt tribute to one of the core pillars of Craig and Jonathan's friendship. the late, great Bill Walton.

  • S2, E2: Stuck in the Portal
    May 23 2024

    Carolina continues its search for another big man and is reportedly in contact with three targets to potentially fill the 4/5 spots –– Coleman Hawkins, Ugonna Onyenso, and Ven-Allen Lubin. Each brings a slightly different skill set and we'll break it all down as the NCAA offseason enters a 10-day dead period in recruiting. Patience, y'all ... patience.

  • S2, E1: We're Back
    May 3 2024

    The episode title says it all ... we're back.

    It's been over a month since we've released a new episode (we had to process the Alabama game like the rest of you), but we're so stoked to tip off PTTP's sophomore season. Similar to last year's offseason, you can expect transfer updates, individual player profiles, season predictions and more to hold us over until the Heels head to Lawrence to take on the Jayhawks to open the 2024-25 season.

    On this episode, there's a ton to talk about specifically regarding the transfer portal. In particular, UNC's search for a big man continues with Cliff Omoruyi visiting Chapel Hill this week and Adou Thiero still hopping between his top options. Who do we think would be the best fit alongside recent Belmont transfer Cade Tyson and some of our favorite returning Heels in RJ Davis, Elliot Cadeau, and Seth Trimble.

    Pointing out to all our loyal listeners! We appreciate y'all and are excited for what this season's going to bring.

    Go Heels!

    Mar 18 2024

    Carolina advanced to the ACC Championship game but couldn’t capture an ACC Tourney title, running into a red hot NC State team that pulled off a 5-game miracle stretch, to steal a bid into the NCAA Tourney. With that said, the Heels still locked up a #1 seed in a West Region filled with storylines, and now we look ahead to their road to the Final Four.
