UNC basketball does it again — the Tar Heels knock off Louisville, continuing one of the strangest trends of the season: Carolina can beat teams with national championships on the résumé…except NC State. Then again, did that loss in Raleigh actually fix the Heels? The News & Observer’s Shelby Swanson joins Ovies & Giglio to break down Caleb Wilson’s injury timetable, whether free throws are going to sink this squad in March, and why it was such an interesting night in Chapel Hill with Mack Brown and Bill Belichick in the building.

Staying with college basketball, former head coach Mark Gottfried jumps on to discuss why so many coaches around the country seem to be unraveling, the pressure of the modern game, NIL and the transfer portal era, and whether G League players should have a place in college hoops. In the Lightning Round: Gunnar Rivers sparks Wolfpack fever dreams about Philip Rivers potentially coaching NC State one day, and the Atlanta Braves’ streaming network strategy raises a bigger question — should the Carolina Hurricanes be thinking the same way?

Ovies & Giglio open with ACC hoops after Duke forced everyone to revisit the national championship contender conversation with a statement win over Michigan. Where the Blue Devils rank in the title mix can be open to debate, but one discussion is over -- Cam Boozer is your player of the year. The guys also toss around some stray thoughts on NC State and UNC’s remaining schedules before welcoming OG Media Senior Bracketologist Patrick Stevens to break down the weekend’s impact and why the games ahead matter more than ever.

From there, it’s to the ice. Team USA topped Canada with a “golden goal” Olympic win, and NC State IcePack head coach Tim Healy joins the show to discuss how USA Hockey built toward this moment. What does it means to hold all four international gold medals between the men’s and women’s teams, and how the sport can capitalize on the momentum to grow youth participation?
