No. 10 North Carolina Tar Heels vs. Virginia Cavaliers predictions
BetMGM: North Carolina will win
Staff writes: “The winning team model predicts North Carolina will win this college basketball game with 59.5% confidence, based on game simulations, player injuries, key player performances and recent matchups.”
ESPN: Tar Heels have 65% chance to win
According to ESPN’s Matchup Predictor, the North Carolina Tar Heels have a 65.4% chance of beating the Virginia Cavaliers.
Action Network: Virginia +3
Staff writes: “Bennett has had UNC’s number throughout his time at Virginia, and I don’t think that trend can be ignored — especially with the Hoos sitting as a home underdog in this one. I expect a spirited effort from UVA after getting its butt kicked Monday night by rival Virginia Tech. Virginia should shoot it better and also force UNC into settling for some difficult outside shots. I don’t know that the Hoos have enough firepower to win this one outright, but I can’t pass at the chance to back Bennett as a home dog given that nobody’s been better at finding ways to win when things get ugly.”

Three Underrated UNC Football Seniors To Watch in 2026
The North Carolina Tar Heels will be a young program across the board next season, with well over two dozen freshmen and numerous additions from the transfer portal this offseason. Expectations for the 2026 season are lowered dramatically after a disastrous first season for head coach Bill Belichick, though those expectations could help the Tar Heels fly under the radar.
As the Tar Heels approach the end of spring ball, it is time to look at the veterans of the team—the ones who have the experience to lead, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Let’s look at three underrated seniors for the 2026 football season.
Ade Willie, Cornerback
Willie joins the Tar Heels program after four years with Michigan State, as the former 4-star player in the 2022 recruiting class gets an opportunity to not only provide depth to the secondary, but potentially start Week 0 against TCU.
Willie played in over 30 games with the Spartans and brings experience in the secondary at cornerback and safety, along with quality length and closing speed to the football. For a defense that needs players to step up, the redshirt senior from IMG Academy will be asked to do so.
Isaiah Johnson, Defensive Lineman
The defensive line is beginning to look like one of the Tar Heels’ strengths for the 2026 season. Johnson, a former transfer from Arizona, enters his redshirt senior year looking to add another year of production after 40 tackles and two sacks this past season.
North Carolina has an impressive group of starters with Malkart Abou-Jaoude, Leroy Jackson, and incoming transfer Jaylen Harvey. Johnson adds value to the group as a run defender with the ability to penetrate the pocket. While not discussed as a key player, Johnson’s name will be used plenty during the regular season as a potential standout for the program’s defensive front.
Coleman Bryson, Safety
Bryson was a reserve player for the Tar Heels’ secondary last season as a big nickel defender in the rotation. Heading into his redshirt senior year, the former Minnesota Gopher is looking to become a full-time starter in the secondary.
It wasn’t long ago when Bryson was making plays as the 2022 Pinstripe Bowl Defensive MVP. His special teams abilities were valuable for North Carolina last season, and he flashed at times in coverage against tight ends, including a pass breakup in the season-opener against TCU. The Waynesville, North Carolina, native could be a key defender on the back-seven in 2026.
