Pro Cougs NBA: Thompson finds his swagger and Gueye rides the pine

**Cougs Making Waves in the NBA: Weekly Performance Breakdown**

Jaylen Wells and Cedric Coward have firmly established themselves as the best Coug duo in professional sports, surpassing Jaden Hicks and Jaylen Watson. Meanwhile, Mouhamed Gueye, once dubbed “Mr. Consistent,” has shifted to more of a “Mr. Backup” role with Jalen Johnson’s return to the lineup. And of course, Klay Thompson continues to light up the scoreboard with his stellar shooting.

Here’s a detailed look at how all the NBA Cougs performed this past week:

—

### Mouhamed Gueye (Atlanta Hawks)

Gueye’s action was limited last week, playing in only three games due to an injury and the NBA Cup tournament. With Jalen Johnson back and performing well for the Hawks, Gueye’s minutes have understandably decreased, pushing him back to the bench.

– Against the Washington Wizards, Gueye logged 9 minutes, scoring 4 points and grabbing 1 rebound.
– In the match versus the Detroit Pistons, he had his best outing with 8 points, 2 rebounds, and 1 block in 17 minutes.
– Closing out the week, he contributed 1 point, 1 block, 1 rebound, and 1 steal in 11 minutes.

It wasn’t the most ideal week for Gueye, finishing with what Charles Barkley might call “a triple single.” Despite limited impact, he remains a solid contributor when on the floor.

—

### Jaylen Wells (Memphis Grizzlies)

Due to the Grizzlies’ early exit from the NBA Cup tournament, Wells only saw action in one game last week. However, star point guard Ja Morant’s return to the lineup greatly benefited Wells, as Morant’s presence on the court demands significant defensive attention.

– Against the Utah Jazz, Wells impressed with 19 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal, shooting an efficient 50% from beyond the arc.

The Grizzlies currently sit at a 11-14 record and have finally reunited their backcourt for the first time this season. Although the team lost the game, the dynamic trio of Wells, Morant, and Coward looks promising and should provide plenty of entertainment going forward.

—

### Klay Thompson (Dallas Mavericks)

In the Mavericks’ lone game last week against the Brooklyn Nets, Thompson was in top form.

– Playing 20 minutes, he scored 12 points, added 2 rebounds, and 2 assists while shooting 42.9% from three-point range.

Since November 14, Thompson has only shot below 35% on three-point attempts three times, a marked improvement compared to the start of the season where that happened three times in just two weeks.

Interestingly, Thompson’s shooting upswing coincides with his relationship with rapper Megan Thee Stallion, sparking speculation about the positive impact she has on his game. Known for his straightforward and quiet personality, Thompson has undoubtedly gained some added swagger both on and off the court.

—

### Cedric Coward (Memphis Grizzlies)

Coward also appeared in a single game last week but made a big impact, posting a near triple-double despite initial questions about how his role might change with Morant’s return.

– He finished with 17 points, 12 rebounds, and 6 assists.

Coward’s role appears to be elevated, benefiting from more opportunities and better spacing on the floor. While he may not be favored to win Rookie of the Year this season—thanks to standout performances by Dallas’ Cooper Flagg—Coward’s contributions have been impressive.

—

### Looking Ahead

Overall, it was a strong week for the Cougs. Although gameplay was somewhat limited due to the NBA Cup tournament, the players made the most of their opportunities to shine.

With All-Star and Rising Star voting set to begin soon, it will be exciting to see if these WSU products can secure spots and continue making an impact in the league. Stay tuned for more updates on their performances as the season progresses!

Kriz: Another 26 People Died “Without Fixed Abode” in OC in October

Another twenty-six people living with fixed abode died in OC in October 2025. Their names are: Ryan RETTIG who died on October 2nd in Costa Mesa Todd BUSHMAN who died on October 4th in Los Alamitos Ignacio RAMIREZ who died on October 6th in Santa Ana Nicholas HOWELL who died on October 9th in Huntington Beach Stephen HECKERT who died on October 10th in Santa Ana Rudolph JUAREZ, II who died on October 10th in Buena Park Ivan MILLAN FRAUSTO who died on October 10th in Santa Ana Scott HULETT who died on October 12th in Newport Beach Randy MARASCO who died on October 13th in Orange Brandon SOLOMON who died on October 13th in Fountain Valley John DOE who died on October 14th in Fountain Valley Vijitha SAMARASINGHE who died on October 14th in Orange Loretta ROWAN who died on October 15th in Westminster James TOMLINSON who died on October 16th in Anaheim Hoang HA who died on October 16th in Santa Ana Roberto ZAMARO, II who died on October 19th in Orange Desiree SOTOA who died on October 21st in Anaheim Luis ARMENTA who died on October 21st in Anaheim Brenda MCPEAK who died on October 22nd in Garden Grove Flavio CARDOSO FILHO who died on October 26th in Costa Mesa Joe MURRAY who died on October 27th in Anaheim Joshua OLDHAM who died on October 28th in Laguna Beach Vincent LENBIRD who died on October 29th in Anaheim Cristina DOMINGUEZ who died on October 29th in Santa Ana Roberto DIMARCO who died on October 30th in Laguna Hills Tatiana BROGAN who died on October 31st in Anaheim As of October 31st, 269 people without fixed abode have died in the County since the beginning of the year. While this continues a decrease in the number of deaths in recent years, the death toll remains significantly higher than in the pre-COVID era. In 2019, the last full year before the onset of COVID-19, the death toll was 166 for the year at the end of October. Still the report of the County’s Commission on Homeless Deaths due to come out sometime in the winter of 2026 promises to be quite significant because, though it will only give answers regarding the homeless death toll in 2024, it will begin to give indication as to what the County has been able to do right in reducing the homeless death toll in recent years from the record levels of 2022 and 2023, when the death tolls as of the end of October were 398 and 433 respectively (in 2024, the homeless death toll at the end of October was 319 for the year). However, the County still has a long way to go to return to pre-COVID era levels. And even then, in 2019, one person living without fixed abode was dying in the County every other day. And no one should be dying homeless on our County’s streets, period. Fr. Dennis Kriz, OSM, Pastor St. Philip Benizi Catholic Church, Fullerton.

LA Kings GM Delivers Much-Awaited Update on Top D-Man

LA Kings GM Ken Holland delivered a much-awaited update on top defenseman Drew Doughty. Doughty had been playing well this season before going down with an injury. The 35-year-old Doughty has been one of the mainstays for the LA Kings since being drafted second overall in 2008. So, his loss this season has been tough. Doughty left the Kings’ game against the Ottawa Senators on November 15 and hasn’t returned to the ice. While Doughty has been listed as “week-to-week,” the LA Kings’ GM Ken Holland provided some encouraging news. Holland had this to say about Doughty’s situation in an interview with James Murphy of RG Media from November 21: “He’s a little dinged up, and we’re calling it ‘Week to week’, which might sound like long-term, but hopefully we’ll see where we are in a couple of weeks. I think it will be a little bit of time, but nothing significant, but it’s still tough to see because he’s been playing great hockey for us. He trained really hard this summer. Coming off that injury last year, I think he’s been playing great hockey and skating great. He looks like Doughty in his prime. So we’re going to miss him here in the short term.” The comments seem to indicate that the LA Kings could get Doughty back sooner rather than later. However, Kings’ fans shouldn’t need to overly worry. The club has a good enough blue line to where everyone can pick up the slack as needed. LA Kings Blue Line Shouldering the Load Holland manifested his confidence in his team’s blue line. He underscored the role that several LA Kings’ veterans have played in Doughty’s absence. He stated: “But Monday, Brandt Clarke played 22 minutes, and we got five other guys there that they’re all comfortable playing 20 to 23 minutes. They’ve done it in their careers. [Cody] Ceci, [Brian] Dumoulin, and [Joel] Edmundson, Mikey Anderson, they’ve all done it elsewhere, so they’ll pick up a few more minutes and find ways to win games. Everybody gets injuries, and we feel that people can eat up some of those minutes on the back end.” The current crop of LA Kings’ defensemen makes the team’s depth stronger overall. In previous seasons, coach Jim Hiller has significantly shortened his bench due to the lack of reliable options throughout the lineup. This season, Holland has strived to bolster the team’s depth. So, it seems to have worked well. Holland Bullish on Brandt Clarke Brandt Clarke has been the subject of abundant trade speculation this season. The impending RFA has yet to sign an extension. But that doesn’t mean he won’t. Holland is still very much bullish on Clarke’s future with the LA Kings. So, it might only be a matter of time before Clarke and the LA Kings work something out. Holland and the Kings got their future captain, Adrian Kempe, extended this season. With that deal out of the way, the path could be clear for Clarke’s extension. There doesn’t seem to be a sense of urgency at this time. As such, Clarke and the Kings have plenty of time to figure things out.

Scientists discover what really powers Venus’s wild, planet-encircling winds

Imagine storms fiercer than the strongest hurricanes on Earth, blowing nonstop all the way around an entire planet. This is exactly what happens on Venus, where winds at the cloud tops race around the planet at speeds of more than 100 metres per second. Even more astonishing is that Venus itself rotates very slowly so slowly that one full day on Venus lasts about 243 Earth days. Yet its atmosphere completes a full trip around the planet in just four Earth days. This extreme mismatch is called “superrotation,” and for years scientists have struggled to fully explain it. Now, new research has revealed an important clue: a daily rhythm in Venus’s atmosphere, driven by the heat of the Sun, may be a major force behind these extraordinary winds. The study, led by Lai and colleagues and published in AGU Advances, provides fresh insight into the hidden mechanics of Venus’s atmosphere. Unlike Earth, where the atmosphere generally moves at roughly the same speed as the planet’s surface, Venus’s atmosphere behaves more like a separate, fast-moving system. Researchers suspected that different types of atmospheric waves and circulation patterns were helping drive the superrotation, but it was unclear which ones were most important. To investigate, the research team examined data collected over 16 years by two spacecraft: the European Space Agency’s Venus Express and Japan’s Akatsuki satellite. These spacecraft studied Venus’s atmosphere by measuring how radio waves bent as they passed through its thick clouds, revealing details about temperature, pressure, and motion. In addition, the scientists used a computer model to simulate how Venus’s atmosphere behaves under these extreme conditions. The team focused on something called “thermal tides.” These are large-scale movements of air caused by uneven solar heating. When sunlight warms the dayside of Venus, the heated air rises and sets off waves that travel around the planet. There are two main types of thermal tides on Venus. Diurnal tides follow a once-per-day cycle, while semidiurnal tides repeat twice per day. Past studies suggested the semidiurnal, or twice-daily, tides were mainly responsible for helping push the atmosphere into superrotation. However, this new research paints a different picture. By including data from the planet’s southern hemisphere for the first time, the scientists found that the diurnal, or once-per-day, tides play a much bigger role than previously believed. These diurnal tides help move energy and momentum upward, toward the tops of Venus’s thick cloud layers. This transfer of momentum acts like a global engine, constantly pushing the atmosphere forward and keeping the winds racing around the planet at extreme speeds. Although more research is still needed to fully understand every detail, this discovery significantly changes scientists’ understanding of Venus. It also offers valuable lessons for studying other planets that rotate slowly or orbit close to their stars. Understanding Venus’s atmosphere could even help astronomers interpret weather patterns on distant, Earth-like worlds in other solar systems. Venus may be our closest planetary neighbor, but with its scorching temperatures and furious winds, it remains one of the most mysterious worlds we know. This new finding brings us one important step closer to understanding its alien climate.

First next-generation Starship booster damaged in testing

MUNICH The first booster in the new generation of Starship vehicles suffered significant damage during a Nov. 21 test, adding to doubts about the vehicle’s development schedule. The Super Heavy booster, designated Booster 18, was at a test site near SpaceX’s Starbase, Texas, facilities in the early morning hours when the lower section of the booster appeared to burst, according to independent video. The booster remained standing, but images taken later showed part of the structure had ruptured. “Booster 18 suffered an anomaly during gas system pressure testing that we were conducting in advance of structural proof testing,” SpaceX said in a statement later in the day. Unlike a June incident at the same test site, when a Starship upper stage exploded during preparations for a static-fire test, no propellant had been loaded and no engines were installed. The booster was undergoing tests to confirm it could handle pressures and loads. The company provided no additional details, other than noting no personnel were injured. “The teams need time to investigate before we are confident of the cause,” it said. Booster 18 is the first Super Heavy built for version 3 of Starship. Changes from version 2 include an upgraded fuel transfer line similar in size to a Falcon 9 booster, an integrated hot-staging ring that remains attached to the top of the booster, the use of three instead of four grid fins for reentry and upgraded Raptor engines. Those upgrades, alongside improvements to Starship’s upper stage, are essential to SpaceX’s plans to bring the vehicle into service for launching larger Starlink satellites and supporting NASA’s Artemis lunar lander program. Before the anomaly, the company was optimistic it would begin launching version 3 soon. “We’re now super-focused on the version 3 rocket that will launch early next year,” Kiko Dontchev, vice president of launch at SpaceX, said at the Economist Space Summit on Nov. 5. “That’s really going to be our production rocket.” Multiple Starship V3 vehicles were in production, he said then, with a booster heading to the pad “in days to weeks” for testing. “I’m very hopeful we’re going to fly early next year, maybe as early as January.” He acknowledged that Starship remains a development vehicle with a “nontraditional approach” to testing. “As long as we fail in a way that never hurts anyone or has an issue where it drastically sets us back, it’s OK to learn through testing,” he said. All 11 integrated Starship/Super Heavy flights “have been iterative successes in the sense that we’ve learned a ton.” The incident could increase pressure on NASA to revise its Artemis lunar landing plans. SpaceX is under contract to provide a Starship-based lunar lander for Artemis 3, officially scheduled for 2027. Even before this setback, it was clear the company was significantly behind schedule, potentially by years. NASA Acting Administrator Sean Duffy announced Oct. 20 he would “open up” the Artemis 3 lander contract, requesting acceleration plans from both SpaceX and Blue Origin, which holds a lander contract for Artemis 5. SpaceX said Oct. 30 it had offered NASA a “simplified” architecture for Artemis 3 that could accelerate the schedule, but it released no technical details. The company argued that Starship, despite delays, remained the fastest way to return humans to the lunar surface. SpaceX said its next major milestones for Starship V3 include placing one ship in orbit for extended testing, followed by launching another to dock with it and demonstrate in-space propellant transfer, an essential technology for the overall Starship architecture. “The exact timing will be driven by how upcoming flight tests debuting the new Starship V3 architecture progress, but both of these tests are targeted to take place in 2026,” the company said then.

Japan economy sees 1.8% GDP drop in Q3

Japan’s Economy Shrinks 1.8% in Q3, Highlighting Fragile Recovery

Japan’s economy contracted by 1.8% on an annualized basis in the July-September quarter, marking its first decline in six quarters. This slowdown stemmed from softer exports, weak consumer spending, and regulatory pressures, signaling ongoing fragility in Japan’s economic recovery.

Exports and Trade Impact

Exports weighed heavily on growth as trade tensions—particularly tariffs on shipments to the United States—reduced output. Net external demand subtracted from overall quarterly growth, reflecting challenges in Japan’s trade environment.

Consumer Spending Slows

Private consumption, which accounts for more than half of Japan’s GDP, grew by only 0.1%. High living expenses and stagnant wages have made households cautious, limiting discretionary spending on goods and services. Rising costs for staples such as food, electricity, and gas have stretched household budgets, leaving less disposable income for items like dining out, travel, and entertainment.

Housing Investment Declines

Housing investment also suffered during the quarter due to changes in building regulations and tighter financing conditions. Residential expenditure plunged as both builders and homebuyers faced higher interest rates and increased building costs, leading to a slowdown in new home construction and real estate development.

Business Investment Shows Modest Growth

On a positive note, businesses increased capital spending by approximately 1%, driven by strong business sentiment and targeted investments in equipment and factories. However, firms remain cautious, scaling back spending on new projects amid softened domestic and international demand, as trade pressures persist.

Government Rolls Out Major Stimulus Amid Rising Inflation

Inflation remains elevated, with core consumer prices climbing significantly above the Bank of Japan’s 2% target. Soaring prices for essential goods continue to pressure households.

In response, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is preparing an ambitious economic stimulus package valued at over ¥17 trillion (around US$110 billion). Expected measures include subsidies for electricity and gas bills, gasoline tax cuts, targeted tax breaks, and strategic investments in growth industries such as AI and semiconductors.

The government plans to fund the stimulus through a large supplementary budget, likely exceeding last year’s additional spending of ¥13.9 trillion. Policymakers face the challenge of providing strong fiscal support while managing the long-term fiscal implications, as Japan’s already elevated public debt raises concerns about financial stability.

Bank of Japan’s Delicate Position

The Bank of Japan is navigating a delicate path. While weak output may reduce short-term pressure to raise interest rates, persistent inflation remains a concern. Policymakers are exercising caution, aiming to balance support for growth with the goal of maintaining price stability.

Prime Minister Takaichi has called for “wage-driven inflation,” where price increases correspond not only to higher costs but also to rising incomes.

Consumer Confidence and Outlook

Consumer confidence remains fragile. According to a September 2025 Bank of Japan survey, 62.5% of respondents felt economic conditions were worse than a year ago, while only 3.8% reported improvements. Many households express concerns about job security and the impact of inflation on their financial stability.

Conclusion

Weak household spending combined with restrained business investment has exacerbated the negative impact of declining exports, resulting in an overall GDP decline in Q3. As Japan’s economy navigates these challenges, upcoming government stimulus measures and monetary policy decisions will be critical to steering the recovery forward.

Ripple Whales Are Loading Up on Mutuum Finance (MUTM) to Save Portfolios as XRP Tanks 10% in a Week

It has been a week of ups and downs for Ripple (XRP) investors, as the price has tumbled by over 10% due to a loss of bullish momentum. However, according to whale on-chain movement analysis, XRP whales are not leaving the market; instead, they are actively investing in a new crypto coin called Mutuum Finance (MUTM).

### Mutuum Finance Gains Momentum

With a current price of only $0.035, Mutuum Finance is rapidly gaining popularity in the crypto market. The coin stands out because of its innovative DeFi lending mechanism, real yield system, and impressive growth rate. Notably, Stage 6 of its presale is already 85% sold, making Mutuum Finance one of the top candidates to be the next big crypto surge in Q4 of this year and into 2026. Demand for the token is escalating at a pace that defies existing estimates and market predictions.

### XRP Price Pressure Intensifies

XRP has experienced a challenging week, falling more than 10% and maintaining a tight trading range between $2.16 and $2.52, which coincides with the Fibonacci support level of 0.382. While bulls are fighting to protect this support region, XRP is struggling to move past its Exponential Moving Average (EMA) resistance levels. This resistance is currently preventing any significant upward momentum.

To regain momentum, XRP needs to break through the current resistance level at $2.52. Doing so could open the path towards higher targets between $2.77 and $3.10. Conversely, failure to overcome this resistance might result in a decline to around $1.94. Adding to the excitement, open interest in XRP is increasing, signaling that significant volatility is imminent—though it remains unclear whether this will be to the upside or downside.

### Investors Eye Mutuum Finance as an Alternative

The uncertainty surrounding XRP’s near-term price action has led many investors to explore other promising opportunities. Mutuum Finance (MUTM), with its compelling growth prospects and innovative DeFi model, is emerging as a strong contender. This project is increasingly viewed as a relatively better growth option, positioning itself as one of the next cryptos to explode.

### Mutuum Finance Presale Enters Rapid Growth Phase

Mutuum Finance’s presale is nearing completion and gaining significant traction across the DeFi ecosystem. Currently at 85% completion of Phase 6, the project enjoys strong engagement and enthusiasm among investors. At this phase, the token is priced at $0.035, offering a last chance for investors to buy before the price rises to $0.04 in Phase 7.

So far, Mutuum Finance has garnered more than 17,810 individual supporters and raised upwards of $18.5 million in presale funding. Beyond its fundraising success, Mutuum Finance’s appeal lies in its utility-focused approach, a clear development roadmap, and a commitment to creating a transparent, sustainable lending platform. These factors collectively position MUTM as a prime crypto to watch within a highly competitive market.

### Imminent Testnet Launch to Showcase Core DeFi Functionality

A significant upcoming milestone is scheduled for Q4 of 2025: the launch of Mutuum Finance’s Sepolia testnet. This will be the first live environment to feature the project’s loaning and value creation system. Users will have the opportunity to obtain funding by providing collateral in ETH and USDT, while also earning MUTM rewards through mtTokens.

The testnet will also facilitate the development and testing of critical operational functions such as risk management, interest rate algorithms, and loan processing before these features are fully deployed on the mainnet. This phased approach demonstrates Mutuum Finance’s dedication to ensuring platform longevity and operational success.

### Looking Ahead

With growing excitement and anticipation, Mutuum Finance is positioned for substantial growth and innovation within the DeFi space. As the market contemplates the “next crypto to explode,” MUTM stands out as a project deserving of close monitoring and consideration.

Can ETH Flip Key Resistance? Whales Move From Solana to $TAP Amid 50X Growth Forecasts

The crypto market is showing signs of life after the Ethereum price regained a key level. But can it revisit its 30-day high? Meanwhile, an interesting trend has emerged during the recent market pullback: Solana coin whales are doubling down on Digitap (AP), hailed as the best crypto to buy now.

At the forefront of the PayFi and banking revolution, Digitap is arguably the most promising crypto to buy at this stage. Interestingly, it is still in its early stages, priced at just $0.0268. Significantly undervalued and buoyed by bold forecasts — including a potential 50x surge — it may well be the best crypto presale opportunity of 2025.

—

### Can the Ethereum Price Break Past $4,000?

After dropping to $3,000 earlier this week, the Ethereum price is slowly reclaiming lost ground. Bulls have pushed the altcoin price above $3,300, which could signal the start of a strong rebound.

A key level to watch is $4,000, as breaking past this threshold would not only boost investors’ confidence but also pave the way for greater gains. If Ethereum can flip its monthly resistance level of $4,755 into support, the altcoin could enter price discovery mode.

A new ETH high would be a welcome relief for many, as it often marks the beginning of altseason. Additionally, inflows into ETH ETFs are expected to contribute to the Ethereum price rally. With a potential reversal unfolding, ETH might be one of the best cryptos to buy now.

—

### Solana Coin Underwhelms Despite Bullish Catalysts

The launch of SOL ETFs on Wall Street was initially seen as a strong bullish catalyst, with many analysts tagging Solana as one of the best cryptos to buy. However, the reality so far has been different.

Despite inflows into these exchange-traded funds, the Solana coin price remains in a downtrend. It has declined nearly 20% on its weekly chart and around 30% on its monthly chart, giving a bearish outlook overall.

Currently, Solana is trading near $160, well below its 30-day high of $235. Crypto analyst Matt has pointed out a new support level around $160 but didn’t rule out bears pushing SOL down further toward $140. For now, SOL might not be the best crypto to buy.

—

### Digitap: The Next 50X DeFi Gem — Why It’s a Steal at $0.0268

Digitap is an innovative project positioned at the crossroads of decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional banking, offering users the best of both worlds. With early funding surpassing $1.4 million, it’s being hailed as the best crypto presale of the year.

Currently in round 2 of its ongoing ICO, Digitap tokens are priced at $0.0268—a significantly undervalued entry point. The price is expected to rise to $0.0297 in the next stage, with a projected 422% gain from the launch price of $0.14. Moreover, a 50x surge is anticipated after Digitap’s market debut, making it a must-have for investors seeking high returns.

Beyond the promising price forecasts, Digitap’s real-world application strengthens its bullish case. The Digitap Money app, recently launched on the App Store, enables users to hold multiple assets and spend from one unified balance. Its virtual and physical cards are co-branded with Visa, allowing for global acceptance coupled with instant cashback on every purchase.

### AP: A Better Alternative Than ETH and SOL

Digitap (AP) is emerging as the best crypto to buy now for its significant growth potential and practical spending utility. As a low-cap coin supported by a strong DeFi-TradFi narrative, it has ample room for growth, underpinning forecasts of up to 50x returns.

While Ethereum may rebound and Solana could reclaim some lost ground, Digitap’s mainstream appeal and innovative solutions make it a standout opportunity for investors.

Bill Belichick bests Frank Reich in NFL reunion game

Bill Belichick and Frank Reich met again on Saturday for the first time since both exited the NFL. In their latest meeting, Belichick’s North Carolina team defeated Reich’s Stanford squad, 20-15.

The game wasn’t pretty. UNC managed just 47 yards of total offense in the first half, and the teams were tied 3-3 at halftime. Despite the slow start, Belichick’s Tar Heels pulled away in the second half to secure the victory.

With this win, Belichick is now 3-1 against Reich in matchups where both serve as head coaches. However, Reich still holds the Super Bowl bragging rights; he coordinated an offense that scored 41 points against Belichick’s Patriots to win the 2017 NFL title.

The victory improved the Tar Heels’ record to 4-5 on the season. With two wins in their final three games, Belichick’s program will become bowl eligible.

“It’s not just one guy or one thing. A collective effort,” Belichick said. UNC has now won two games in a row after weathering an early-season stretch marked by ugly performances and off-field drama.

The Tar Heels will finish the season facing in-state rivals Wake Forest, Duke, and N.C. State. These important matchups will be key to their postseason hopes.
