Inside Carolina: A UNC athletics podcast

Micheal Malone and staff continue to build out the 2026-27 Carolina Basketball roster but retaining forward Jarin Stevenson was a big piece not only talent wise but to have some semblance of continuity in Chapel Hill. Stevenson's play on the court will help define the success next year's team will have but his presence, and that of Pat Sullivan and Sean May, in the Smith Center should help ease the transition for everyone as a new era begins for this storied program.

Inside Carolina senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley to discus Stevenson's place, the importance of having player carryover and the system that continues to evolve while the money factor continues to explode across the country.

Inside Carolina senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley for the latest on Michael Malone's process of building back North Carolina's basketball program. As the news out of the Smith Center offices continues to flow, Barnes highlights the important pieces from the week and how those bits of information highlight how Malone may envision his program going forward.

The Diamond Heels ventured south for a series in Clemson this past weekend in hopes from breaking a dubious streak in Doug Kingsmore Stadium. Carolina had lost six straight and eight of the past nine games down there and after Friday's poor showing, that streak extended once again.

But freshman Caden Glauber on the mound and freshman Tyler Howe at the plate authored a thrilling 14 inning win on Saturday to set up a 12-5 series clinching win on Sunday against a Clemson team desperate to get their season back on track.

Inside Carolina's Tommy Ashley is joined by head coach Scott Forbes for their weekly discussion of all things south of the border, how this team can continue to improve and the week ahead that includes in-state rival UNC Wilmington on Tuesday and top five matchup with Georgia Tech this weekend in Boshamer Stadium.
