Episode Notes

Inside Carolina's senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley to discuss the ongoing process of building back North Carolina basketball under new coach Michael Malone and the new era Malone and his coaching staff are ushering into Chapel Hill. With the portal work continuing and player movement at an all time high, Malone's process continues to have fans on the edges of their proverbial seats wanting and waiting for big news from a player acquisition standpoint and a talent perspective.

But what does Malone and staff need to succeed on the court? Barnes and Ashley highlight that answer is unknown until the product only the court can actually produce results. Granted, the angst from some in the fanbase is not surprising given how the Carolina program has struggled with identity and consistency over the last several years and Barnes addresses that aspect - while also commenting on the financial side of this era of basketball and UNC's place in that arena.
