Too many penalties and far too much poor body language for the Tar Heels. UNC was called for 12 penalties (loss of 103 yds) last week. Lots of instances already tonight of players pulling face masks, shoving after the whistle. Tar Heels have racked up seven penalties for 74 yds so far tonight.

That 50-yard rush by Demon June (who earned the start) is the longest run for a UNC freshman since Omarion Hampton against Georgia State in 2022. North Carolina has scored on the first drive in all three of its games so far (2 TDs and now 1 FG). UNC is up 7-0 over Richmond.

If this had been Jon Sumrall or Jeff Monken or anyone else, it would be written off as transition pains. But none of them would have promised what Bill Belichick promised, or demanded what he demanded. UNC paid millions for this, and got sold a bill of goods.

It's official: the Minnesota Lynx will host the Indiana Fever for the 2025 Commissioner's Cup championship on July 1 at Target Center. Still, a big question mark remains at this moment: how is Napheesa Collier feeling? She exited the game in Q3 (clutching her back) and never returned to the bench.
