The @uncwbb program is one of the best in the country now but had humble beginnings with little funding, coaches driving teams to games and a home gym that was so small that it was dangerous. Read many stories about the program's beginnings. #WBB

The only way that Carolina will ever have a bigger victory over Duke is if they were to meet in an NCAA championship or a Final Four game. Short of that, Saturday's win never will be topped.

Excitement is soaring for UNC's men's team and it should be just as high for the @uncwbb team, which deserves to see Carmichael packed with fans. The combined anticipation for their seasons is the highest in 13 years. #UNC #wbb

Bacot said that #UNC "put the world on notice" with their impressive win over the No. 10 Vols, looking much better than a No. 17 team, as he, RJ Davis and Ingram each scored at least 20 points, and Cadeau put on a passing show with 10 assists and no turnovers.
