North Carolina basketball fires Hubert Davis after March Madness meltdown

2025-26 was a lost season for North Carolina basketball as soon as star forward Caleb Wilson went down with a hand injury, but the Tar Heels were still hoping for a better March Madness result than they got. In the first round on Thursday, North Carolina blew a 19-point lead against No. 11 seed VCU before an overtime loss ended its season.

Now, head coach Hubert Davis is paying the price for the defeat at the end of the disappointing season. Davis will not be returning as the head coach at North Carolina, according to Pete Thamel of ESPN.

Davis went 125-54 as the head coach at UNC over the last five seasons, but he has failed to get the program back to a truly elite level on a consistent basis since reaching the 2022 national championship game.

This story will be updated.
