Welcome to an anticipatory Wednesday edition of Tracking the Tar Heels.
Let's see what the Tar Heels have been up to:
- Sports Editor Grace Raynor reveals how the bond between Marcus Paige and his sister will be tested when the Tar Heels challenge Wisconsin on Thursday.
- In that game, the Tar Heels might be playing without forward Kennedy Meeks, who sprained his knee Saturday against Arkansas, Raynor adds.
- The women's team knotted its own Sweet 16 berth on a buzzer beater from Jamie Cherry in the Tar Heels' 86-84 victory over Ohio State on Monday, details Jeremy Vernon.
- UNC was led by the unstoppable Stephanie Mavunga, who scored 27 points alongside a game-high 14 rebounds and four blocks, Logan Ulrich describes.
- Sarah Headley writes how the baseball team relied on six scoreless innings from freshman Hunter Williams in its 9-0 win over Appalachian State on Tuesday.
- But it wasn't just Williams who impressed, as juniors Skye Bolt and Korey Dunbar's offensive outbreaks have fueled the team over the past few weeks, Assistant Editor Carlos Collazo explains.
- A notable Pro Day performance has scouts impressed with defensive back Tim Scott, who clocked a team-high 4.55 40-yard dash Tuesday, recounts Assistant Editor Pat James.
