North Carolina is 2-2 all-time against Wofford and have lost the past two times the Terriers visited Chapel Hill (though one of those losses was in Carmichael and not the Dean Dome). Can UNC end this streak or will Wofford at make it three straight road victories over the Heels?

He has spent his entire professional career overseas and won the Montenegrin Cup in 2025 with Buducnost.
