LEVELING UP! Can Angelo Brizzi's Experience & BREAKOUT at Buffalo TRANSLATE for UNC Tar Heels?

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 07:00:00 GMT

UNC Tar Heels add a proven sharpshooter in Angelo Brizzi, aiming to strengthen their backcourt depth for the upcoming ACC season. Will Brizzi’s 3-point prowess—after averaging 14.5 points and 37% from deep at Buffalo—translate to success in Chapel Hill? His journey from Villanova to Davidson, Longwood, and Buffalo has shaped him into the Tar Heels’ grizzled veteran, and his competitive fire may give UNC a much-needed spark off the bench.

Isaac Schade and Jonathan Adams examine Brizzi’s fit behind the Tar Heels’ starting guards, his battle with Isaiah Denis and Jaydon Young for rotation minutes, and his impact as a reliable catch-and-shoot threat. Exploring the challenges of mid-major transfers, the hosts debate Brizzi’s defensive upside, free-throw reliability, and potential to become UNC’s top 3-point shooter by percentage. Can Brizzi carve out a consistent role and help fuel UNC’s tournament ambitions?

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 29 Sep 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Greg Barnes, Tommy Ashley — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 17:23:31 GMT

Inside Carolina senior reporter Greg Barnes joines Tommy Ashley to discuss Wednesday's court ruling by judge Kara Krothe granting four North Carolina athletes an opportunity to play this season.

Barnes and Ashley highlight several aspects of these cases, from the on the field and off the field impact for teams and players as they have been held in limbo by the numerous cases across the country.

Will Jaydon Young EARN More Minutes for UNC Tar Heels in Year 2? Scouting, BOLD Predictions & More!

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 23 Sep 2026 07:00:00 GMT

North Carolina Tar Heels face a crucial backcourt battle as Jaydon Young tries to carve out a bigger role in his second year at Chapel Hill. Will his veteran experience and defensive prowess earn him a secure spot in Michael Malone’s rotation, or will rising competitors like Isaiah Denis and Angelo Brizzi edge him out for key minutes?

Isaac Schade and Jonathan Adams break down Young’s strengths—solid point-of-attack defense and team-first mentality—while highlighting his need to improve three-point shooting to boost his on-court impact. The discussion covers Young’s past offensive flashes at Virginia Tech, role competition within the Tar Heels’ deep guard room, and bold predictions for an ACC breakout performance. With questions swirling around UNC’s lockdown perimeter defender and new coaching strategies, the stage is set for an intense fight for playing time as the season begins.
