Is John Calipari Right About Who Wins Championships? + What Will Happen With Hubert Davis And UNC?
Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss the growing uncertainty surrounding North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball, including the pressure on Hubert Davis after another early NCAA Tournament exit and whether the program is headed toward a coaching change as support continues to fade.
The current situation around North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball is tense and increasingly uncertain after a disappointing end to the season. Despite making the NCAA Tournament, UNC suffered a first-round loss to VCU, blowing a large second-half lead and exiting far earlier than expected. That collapse has intensified scrutiny on head coach Hubert Davis, whose future with the program is now very much in doubt. While he led UNC to a national title game in 2022, the years since have been inconsistent, including missing the tournament in 2023 and back-to-back first-round exits in 2025 and 2026. Right now, whether Davis will stay is unclear, but the trend is not in his favor. UNC officials have not made a final decision and are actively evaluating the program, but multiple reports say his future is “in doubt” and that it would surprise many people if he returns next season. What should happen with Hubert Davis? Should he return? Will he?
High Point Panthers men's basketball enjoyed a historic and memorable run in the 2026 NCAA Tournament, marking the most successful March showing in program history. The Panthers made waves in the Round of 64 by pulling off a stunning 83-82 upset of No. 5 seed Wisconsin. That victory was the first NCAA Tournament win in program history and also High Point’s first win ever over a Power Five opponent. High Point then advanced to the Round of 32, where they lost to the No. 4 seed Arkansas 94-88, ending High Point’s historic march just short of the Sweet 16. After High Point's loss, Arkansas head coach John Calipari praised High Point. Calipari said administrations win championships. Is he right?
