## Resource

Tar Heels fans still feel the sting of a wild NCAA Tournament first-round loss to VCU on March 19, 2026 — a game that saw UNC build a 19-point lead only to see VCU pull off the biggest comeback in tournament history, forcing overtime and winning 82-78. The heartbreaking defeat, their second straight first-round exit, directly led to head coach Hubert Davis being fired and intensified questions about what might have been if star forward Caleb Wilson hadn’t missed the game with a season-ending injury. Despite Henri Veesaar’s career-high 26 points and 10 rebounds, missed free throws and poor shooting from beyond the arc sealed the loss — a game that sent shockwaves through the program.
