Saturday, November 14, 2026 · Sports · GSM News

The University of Georgia men's basketball team defeated the University of North Carolina 78-70 on the road on the evening of Nov. 13, ending the Tar Heels' 21-game home winning streak. The game was played in Chapel Hill. Kanon Catchings scored 22 points, Blue Cain added 20, and Marcus Millender chipped in 17, as Georgia closed the final six minutes on a 20-8 run to complete the comeback, with Catchings and Cain combining down the stretch to seal the win. North Carolina's last home loss had come 21 games earlier.

Georgia improved to 4-0 to start the season, the third consecutive season the team has opened with four straight wins, continuing its recent pattern of strong starts. The Catchings-Cain inside-outside combination took over the game in the second half, helping the team withstand the noise from the North Carolina crowd on the road. Georgia's next game will be at home on Monday against Jacksonville University, while North Carolina will host Marshall University on Nov. 20.
