Episode Details

Matt Able is rewriting basketball history by transferring from NC State to UNC — the first time since WWII that a player has made this rivalry jump. A four-star recruit who once eyed Miami, Able thrived as a freshman at NC State, flashing scoring and defense, even dropping 19 points against UNC. After a coaching change, he entered the NBA draft and transfer portal — ultimately choosing UNC for an immediate starter role. With elite shooting, defensive grit, and two future matchups against his former teammates, Able brings instant firepower to the Tar Heels. He impressed at the NBA combine but returned to college, aiming to peak before the draft. This move reshapes UNC’s roster and signals a new era in the storied rivalry.
