North Carolina Tar Heels reportedly target Baylor Bears' Scott Drew as their next head coach, but is this coaching rumor built on shaky logic? Pete Thamel’s bombshell puts Drew—a veteran with a national championship—at the top of UNC’s “realistic” list, sparking debate given his recent history of turning down blue blood programs like Kentucky and Louisville.

With names like Ben McCollum and Grant McCasland also in play, Stewart highlights the challenges facing the UNC athletic department, from budget constraints to internal pressure for a blockbuster hire. Will UNC land their top target, or is this another offseason of high-profile swings and misses among college basketball’s elite?

Minnesota Golden Gophers aim to shock Baylor Bears as Cade Tyson powers an injury-depleted squad into the Crown Basketball Tournament. With only six scholarship players available, Tyson’s near 20-point average and Grayson Grove’s emergence have fueled postseason hope under new head coach Nico Medved.

With Baylor fresh off a national championship run just five years ago and Minnesota building something new, who wants the win more?
