After a grueling schedule thus far produced more losses than the Tar Heels would like, UNC basketball found themselves in a volatile week before the 12 Days of Christmas had even begun. After a valiant effort against Florida that resulted in another tough loss, North Carolina did salvage a win of consequence over UCLA with another comeback. Ian Jackson showed up in his hometown and showed out to the tune of 24 points, rounding out a breakout week. Sherrell McMillan and Sean Moran join Joey Powell to consider the week's results.

With perhaps the season on the line in Madison Square Garden, North Carolina finally found a way to finish on top in the end, getting a much needed win, 76-74, over UCLA.

Inside Carolina’s Dewey Burke and Tommy Ashley break down the win with a look at the positives, and negatives, as the Christmas break is now here.

Another poor first half, another loss for North Carolina has the 90-84 margin mirrored so many of the Tar Heels’ first ten games of the season thus far. Inside Carolina’s Sherrell McMillan and Tommy Ashley break down the loss and discuss the common themes that Hubert Davis’s team continue to put on tape against strong competition. RJ Davis and Ian Jackson were the highlights with both the vet and the frosh making winning plays, but in the end, the lack of execution on the defensive end and failure to finish out possessions late allowed the 11-0 Florida Gators get out of Charlotte with a win.
