The Carolina Basketball Show

What would make Michael Malone's first season at North Carolina a success? 🏀 New episodes every morning at 8 a.m. ET.

In Episode 4, we cover what to know before Friday's exhibition against USC in Greensboro (7 p.m. ET, ACC Network), including why Cameron Fens will be on the sideline, and what's coming with the AP preseason poll.

Then we ask what a successful first year under Malone looks like: a trip to the Round of 32, real improvement, or finally a clear identity, using what Malone said at ACC Tipoff about building around defense.

We preview Utah transfer Terrence Brown, who averaged 19.9 points a game last season, and how he fits into Malone's "connector" backcourt. Finally, we go through where national analysts and the analytics sites rank the Tar Heels heading into the season.

The Carolina Basketball Show is a daily Tar Heels podcast hosted by sports writer and analyst Kade Nix.

Will Cameron Fens ever suit up for UNC? 🏀

New episodes every morning at 8 a.m. ET.

In Episode 3, we cover why Cameron Fens, the 7-foot South Dakota transfer, is still ineligible. We walk through the Class of 2022 fifth-year fight and the Tennessee Court of Appeals ruling that left him able to practice but not play.

Then we break down what the frontcourt looks like without him: Sayon Keita, Alexandros Samodurov and Cade Bennerman, with Friday's exhibition against USC coming up.

We also check in on five-star point guard Nasir Anderson's recruitment and answer your questions. Topics include building around Terrence Brown, Neoklis Avdalas, Matt Able and Angelo Brizzi, what it takes for Carolina to get back to blue-blood status, and whether Michael Malone's teams will be ready at the opening tip.
