In his three seasons as a member of the UNC basketball program, Caleb Love provided Tar Heel fans with many memorable moments. Almost certainly the biggest and most important was his 28-point outing and game-sealing shot delivered in the 2022 Final Four to defeat bitter rival Duke in Mike Krzyzewski's final game.

Slowed by injury, Kayla McPherson hasn’t played in a game for UNC women’s basketball since 2023, but she’s added another voice to the Tar Heels’ bench as the NCAA Tournament begins.

UNC ended the season much the same way it began it: consistently inconsistent, and falling a few plays short of a signature win.
