Seth Trimble Cites North Carolina Culture After Latest Win
The North Carolina Tar Heels have been one of the most successful programs in college basketball for decades. Over the past few seasons, the program has struggled with consistency and success at times.
That holds true for this season, as the Tar Heels have experienced stretches of losing, dropping three of four games earlier this month. On the other hand, there have been flashes of how elite this team can be when demonstrating their brand of basketball. That was on full display against Virginia last weekend, as North Carolina’s performance in the second half was arguably the best 20 minutes they have put on film this entire season.
A major reason for the team’s success on Saturday and on the season, in general, is senior guard Seth Trimble. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound guard had his best outing of the season, producing 16 points, five rebounds, three assists, and two steals while shooting 5-of-6 from the floor, including 2-of-2 from three-point range and 4-of-6 from the free throw line.
While speaking with a media outlet on Tuesday, Trimble discussed the importance and significance of North Carolina’s culture.
Trimble’ Thoughts
- “On the players end, when you want to protect traditions and you want to keep what a former player has built, and you don’t have those four-year guys, you don’t have those guys that have come in here, have learned the culture, have learned the history, and you don’t have them to teach the other guys, it alters the program a bit, you know?,” Trimble said.
While coaching is essential to have success in any level, Trimble acknowledges that the head coach can only do so much. The success of the team hinges on the on-court performance from the players.
- “So, a coach can’t do it all by himself – they can, but it’s hard to,” Trimble said. “But it always helps when you have those player-led groups that can help carry that tradition and teach things that the alumni taught us and stuff like that. So as much as it affects them, I feel like it affects programs as well.”
With player movement continuing to dictate the roster-construction process each and every year, Trimble, who is a four-year player, understands that everyone’s path is different.
- “If I could tell student athletes to just take their time,” Trimble said. “What’s right for them is going to be right for them through one year, but just not to rush things. Especially with transferring, too, the grass isn’t always greener.”

Virginia vs North Carolina pregame notes
UVA owns a 59-33 advantage since the series began in 1938.
The 59 wins are UVA’s most against any opponent in program history (followed by 51 against Duke).
In Chapel Hill last year, the Tar Heels defeated the Cavaliers 18-9, snapping UVA’s six-game series win streak.
UVA has won nine of the last 11 meetings, dating back to 2018.
The Hoos have won the last two meetings with Carolina at Klöckner Stadium, 11-4 in 2022 and 14-6 in 2024.
The Tar Heels’ four goals in 2022 marked the fewest goals in a game under Joe Breschi, who was named UNC’s head coach in 2006.
The last time the Tar Heels knocked off the Cavaliers at Klöckner was a 16-13 decision during the first of three games between the two teams in 2021.
Later that year, UVA claimed back-to-back meetings against the Heels, including in the NCAA semifinals on the way to capturing the 2021 national title over Maryland.

HENDERSONVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — Fire crews are responding to a brush fire near Howard Gap Road in Hendersonville on Friday evening.
The fire is across the street from the Ebenezer Baptist Church and near the Highlands Square Shopping Center.
Henderson County Fire Marshal Glen Gillette said crews are fighting “blowdown from Helene.”

Around 11 p.m., the fire appears larger than it did an hour ago because crews are backburning, which refers to using fire to help control the wildfire.
Dana Fire Department Chief Jimmy Womack said that what was a 3-acre fire an hour ago will be an 8-acre fire due to back burning. He said the fire is 80% contained.
Womack said the cause of the fire is unknown, but one of the conditions contributing to the blaze is the Helene blowdown.
“There’s a lot of blowdown in these woods behind us. That’s what creates most of the problem,” said Womack.
Womack said there has been no property damage and no injuries have been reported for this fire in the woods that 24 personnel are fighting. They got the call to arrive at 6:05 p.m.
