North Carolina women’s basketball knocks off No. 1 Notre Dame

On Sunday in Chapel Hill, North Carolina pulled off a stunning upset — knocking off No. 1 Notre Dame, 78-73. Paris Kea led the way with one heck of a performance, too: 30 points and 10 rebounds. For UNC, the win was the program’s first against a No. 1 team in nearly 13 years.

 

Welcome back to the ACC: NC State lands grad transfer WR Tabari Hines

On Sunday, former Wake Forest and Oregon wide receiver Tabari Hines committed to NC State. Hines played three seasons of ball (2015-17) at Wake Forest: 123 receptions for 1,496 yards and 13 touchdowns. His one season at Oregon was cut short due to an injury, but Hines played in four games and caught three passes, including one for a touchdown.

With Jakobi Meyers departing for the NFL, the 5-foot-9 Hines adds a veteran to the mix at slot for NC State in 2019.

 

Pitt football adds grad transfer OT

Pitt ranked third in the ACC in raw rushing yards per game during the 2018 season.
