Ep 718Is Hubert Davis the Right Coach for UNC? | Heels Reach Crossroads After VCU NCAA Tournament Exit
ENorth Carolina basketball has a standard. It was set by Dean Smith and sustained by Roy Williams. In five years under Hubert Davis the Tar Heels have not met it. Making it more complicated — Jon Scheyer has built something real at Duke under the similar circumstances or replacing a legend. The Tobacco Road rivalry has always pushed both programs toward consistent excellence. But the problems at UNC go deeper than Hubert Davis. This looks less like a coaching issue and more like an identity crisis for the university itself. And until that gets addressed no coaching decision fixes what's actually broken. Everyone agrees on one thing — UNC basketball has to evolve or get left behind.

Ep 717Siena Almost Stuns Duke | UNC Blows 19-point Lead, Drops OT Thriller to VCU | OG After Dark
ETwo Triangle teams. Two completely different first round NCAA Tournament stories. The Tar Heels blew a 19 point second half lead to VCU. And everything that has haunted this UNC team all season long showed up at the worst possible moment on the biggest possible stage. Duke nearly made history for all the wrong reasons. Siena pushed the Blue Devils to the absolute brink of becoming only the third number one seed to ever lose to a sixteen. Jon Scheyer called it the toughest game he'd ever been in. Duke survived — but did the scare recalibrate them or damage them? Ovies & Giglio have the full reaction live during "OG After Dark" -- presented by Bloomin' Blinds.

Ep 715Will Wade Was NC State's Biggest Critic | Marcus Ginyard on UNC hoops | Canes Check-in | 03.18
EWill Wade didn't sugarcoat it. His first roster in Raleigh was — in his own words — the worst team Wolfpack fans will see going forward. It's a remarkable thing for a head coach to say publicly about his own program. The question Ovies & Giglio are asking is whether Wade's year one education in the ACC was enough to produce the changes that actually matter — players who genuinely fit the system he wants to run rather than players a spreadsheet recommended because the numbers looked right in a vacuum. Then it's UNC's turn — and a voice worth hearing joins the conversation. Marcus Ginyard, member of the 2009 National Championship team, comes on to discuss the current state of Tar Heels basketball and what Caleb Wilson's presence meant for this program beyond the box score. Ginyard brings the championship perspective and the honest assessment of where UNC stands heading into their NCAA Tournament opener. Can the Tar Heels get to the Sweet 16? Ovies & Giglio think it's there for them — but only if they play a certain way. Mike Maniscalco joins the show to cover the Carolina Hurricanes entering one of the most demanding stretches of hockey on their schedule. The brutal run started last night in Columbus — and the priority heading into it is singular and non-negotiable. Get to the postseason healthy. Everything else is secondary.

Ep 714NC State's Season Ends in Dayton, Texas Beats Wolfpack in Gut Punch First Four Finish | OG After Dark
EOG After Dark is live — presented by Bloomin' Blinds — and NC State's season is over. It ended in Dayton in the final moments against Texas in a game polar opposite of the one they lost to the Longhorns in the Maui Invitational. Let the accounting begin.

Ep 712Duke's Bracket of Death | Can UNC Bounce Back Again? | NC State Heads to Dayton | NCAA Committee Logic | OG Sports Phone | 03.16
EThe bracket is out. Ovies & Giglio are back at OG Media HQ. And the Triangle's NCAA Tournament picture couldn't be more complicated or more compelling. Start with Duke — because Giglio needs a moment. The Blue Devils come into March Madness as back-to-back ACC Tournament Champions with the most proven defensive identity in college basketball. The selection committee looked at all of that and handed them the toughest bracket. Ovies pushes back on the UNC pessimism that has been building since the Clemson loss in Charlotte. The Tar Heels have a pattern this season that is worth trusting — they hit a low point, they absorb it, and they come back with some punch. Then NC State. Will Wade didn't exactly hide the ball on this one — the Wolfpack head coach essentially acknowledged the likelihood of a Dayton First Four appearance before the selection committee made it official. The road from 9-2 in ACC play to a play-in game in Dayton is one of the steepest late season descents the bracket has seen in years and it deserves a full explanation. Patrick Stevens — Senior OG Media Bracketologist — gets into the selection committee's evaluation process, the bubble logic that shaped the final field, the mechanical bracket construction that determined NC State's placement and more. Meanwhile, the Carolina Hurricanes get their catch-up segment and the OG Sports Phone closes the show the right way — Triangle fans processing a whole bunch of things. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 02:00 - Duke's tough bracket 07:30 - UNC bounce back? 15:00 - Destination Dayton 30:00 - Listen to coaches! 36:00 - Housekeeping 41:30 - Patrick Stevens 1:10:00 - Canes crunch-time 1:19:00 - Social Media Dump 1:30:00 - Hey Joe OG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7 OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMedia OG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 711Duke Are Back-to-Back ACC Champions | Virginia Limits Boozer But Devils Find a Way | Bracketology
EDuke are your back-to-back ACC Tournament Champions — and Virginia made them earn every single second of it. The Cavaliers held Cameron Boozer to his lowest scoring game of the season. The game plan was right. The execution was there. And Duke found a way to win anyway with key rebounds, timely stops, clutch contributions from role players, and free throws that held up when it mattered most. Ovies & Giglio are live from Charlotte breaking down the championship and what back-to-back ACC titles mean for Duke heading into March Madness. Plus! OG Media Senior Bracketologist Patrick Stevens joins the show to discuss how the ACC Tournament will shape the NCAA Tournament. And of course, your OG Sports Phone calls.

Ep 710Duke vs Virginia ACC Tournament Championship | Hubert Davis Critics Get Louder | NC State Leftovers
EOG After Dark is live from the ACC Tournament in Charlotte — presented by Bloomin Blinds — and the championship game is set. Duke and Virginia got there in the least dramatic way possible, with neither the Blue Devils nor the Cavaliers getting truly tested in ways that revealed anything new. But hey, the ACC Tournament Championship game will feature the two best teams from the 2026 regular season. Full stop. Meanwhile, the Hubert Davis critics came out of the woodwork after North Carolina's early ACC Tournament exit to Clemson. Ovies & Giglio push back where the pushback is warranted and acknowledge what's fair where fairness is required. NC State leftovers round out the conversation with your OG Sports Phone calls.

Ep 708North Carolina Falls to Clemson | ACC Tournament Loss Raises March Madness Questions | OG After Dark
ENorth Carolina had found something without Caleb Wilson. All of it walked out the building in Charlotte against Clemson. The offense was stagnant through most of the game. Turnovers didn't help. Free throw shooting continues to be an issue. And while the Heels made it a game against the Tigers late and had a chance to rally for a win, folks are wondering if this is this a sign of things to come in the NCAA Tournament. Ovies & Giglio are live from Charlotte with the honest reaction on OG After Dark -- presented by Bloomin Blinds.

EOG After Dark is live — presented by Bloomin Blinds — and the ACC Tournament in Charlotte just delivered one of its best nights of the week. Duke came into their ACC Tournament matchup as the heavy favorite. But Florida State also came in hot, and for long stretches of this game the Seminoles made the Blue Devils profoundly uncomfortable.

Ep 706NC State Sent Packing | Wade Addresses LSU Rumors | Panthers Won NFL Free Agency | Bracketology & ACC Coaching | 03.12
ETime for another Butcher's Market OG Live...from Charlotte! NC State's ACC Tournament run is over. Virginia beat the Wolfpack for the third time this season — and while it was closer than the regular season meetings, it fell right in line with this team's ceiling against better competition. The NCAA Tournament is next but the real conversation has already shifted to Will Wade's offseason pivot heading into year two in Raleigh. The Athletic's Brendan Marks joins to discuss that — plus which ACC programs like Syracuse, Boston College, Georgia Tech and potentially Pitt need to get serious about their next head coaching hire right now. LockedOn Panthers host Julian Council comes through to make the case that Carolina quietly won NFL free agency — and that this franchise believes it can do more than sneak into the playoffs on a wild card.

Ep 702ACC Bracketology, Bubble Watch & coaching carousel begins | Canes NHL trade deadline discipline | Kara Era at Duke | Wes Moore NC State speculation
EACC Tournament week is here — and Ovies & Giglio are locked in on everything happening before heading to Charlotte. The coaching carousel is already spinning, but several programs are facing common trait that keeps programs stuck in neutral. Then Senior OG Media Bracketologist Patrick Stevens returns with his latest NCAA Tournament field projections — including the question that every Wolfpack fan needs answered right now. Is NC State actually a bubble team even if they manage to avoid an early exit in Charlotte? Patrick brings the numbers, the committee logic, and the honest assessment of where the Wolfpack stand with Selection Sunday approaching fast. Bonus: A very special blind resume comparison! Mitch Northam from the Women's Basketball Podcast joins the show to break down the state of Duke women's basketball under Kara Lawson after back-to-back ACC Tournament championships. Plus, there's speculation surrounding NC State women's basketball head coach Wes Moore's future in Raleigh. Is there merit to the noise? The Carolina Hurricanes trade deadline discipline gets a follow up conversation — because the questions haven't gone away. Are the Canes going to regret not adding a goalie before the deadline? And the deeper philosophical debate — is it better to sustain a consistent playoff window year after year, or blow it up, chase a Stanley Cup, miss the playoffs for a stretch, and rebuild around a championship? Two very different visions for a franchise. NFL Free Agency enters the conversation as the league's offseason market opens and quarterbacks and key free agents find new homes across the league. Plus the OG Social Media Dump and OG Sports Phone close things out — because the listeners always have something worth hearing during ACC Tournament week.

Ep 701March Madness Message: Duke Locks In and Locks Up UNC | What Happened to NC State?
ETobacco Road closed the regular season with a tale of two teams heading in completely opposite directions. Duke overcame their own injury concerns and a desperate UNC squad reeling from Caleb Wilson's season ending injury — with Dame Sarr and Maliq Brown stepping up in a crucial second half to seal the Blue Devils' statement win. Meanwhile in Raleigh, NC State's late season swoon hit a new low with a listless home loss to Stanford. Four straight losses. Six of their last seven. The Wolfpack are stumbling into the ACC Tournament at the worst possible time. Ovies & Giglio have the full reaction with OG After Dark — presented by Bloomin' Blinds.

Ep 698UNC stumbles into best Smith Center option | Should Canes trade for goalie? | Hot Hornets | 03.05
ETime for another Butcher's Market OG Live — and there's a lot on the table today. The debate surrounding the Smith Center and the future of UNC basketball's home has been dominating conversations in Chapel Hill for months. Everyone has been picking sides between renovating the Dean Dome or relocating to UNC's ambitious Carolina North project. But a third option has quietly emerged from the noise — and Ovies & Giglio are making the case that it's the one that makes the most sense of all. Speaking of the Tar Heels — is Caleb Wilson back for the Duke game? Bracketology talk follows before the focus shifts to the Carolina Hurricanes. The Canes won their final game before the NHL trade deadline — but the market feels frozen. Would the smartest move for the Hurricanes actually be standing pat and making no deal at all? Then it's down to Charlotte where the Hornets continue to be the most surprising story in the NBA. Forget the play-in conversation — this team has legitimate designs on climbing all the way to the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference before the regular season ends. How far can they go?

Ep 697UNC 5-1 without Caleb Wilson, now focused on Duke sweep | NFL's bleak QB market | NCAA Bracketology | 03.04
EAnother bad night to be a Hubert Hater. North Carolina made the winning plays when it mattered most, gutted out a victory over Clemson, and wrapped up an 18-0 home record to close out the regular season at the Dean Dome. Caleb Wilson is expected back in the lineup ahead of the regular season finale against Duke — and if the Tar Heels can sweep the Blue Devils on the road to close things out, Hubert Davis inserted himself into a very real ACC Coach of the Year conversation. Senior OG Media Bracketologist Patrick Stevens joins the guys with his latest NCAA Tournament projections — including a conversation about Miami (OH). ESPN's Brooke Pryor comes into the studio to cover the NFL landscape, including NFL Combine gossip and the league's increasingly bleak quarterback market and what it means for teams heading into the offseason.

Ep 695NC State is a metrics darling with red flags | Scheyer should be ACC COY | Bracketology | 03.02
ETo paraphrase Clerks, they weren’t even supposed to be here today and just waiting for tonight's OG After Dark. But after NC State dropped an overtime head scratcher to Notre Dame on Saturday — and the OG Sports Phone absolutely lit up — Ovies & Giglio had no choice but to hit the studio.

Ep 673Is UNC ready for Duke after wonky win over 'Cuse? | Hornets demand your attention | Quiet Panthers offseason? | 02.02
EThe show opens with Ovies trying to wrap his head around Jay Williams — yes, that Duke legend — once again sounding openly wistful about North Carolina, just days before another rivalry showdown on Saturday. From there, the guys break down UNC’s glass-half-full, glass-half-empty win over Syracuse and what it actually says about this team. N&O’s Shelby Swanson joins the pod to assess the Heels’ season so far and why Caleb Wilson feels tailor-made for rivalry games like this. Staying on the hardwood, WFNZ’s Walker Mehl stops by to talk about the suddenly streaking Charlotte Hornets — is this real, and is it real enough to knock Panthers talk off the airwaves for at least a week? In the Lightning Round, the guys hit Roger Goodell’s state of the NFL, more Hall of Fame discourse, some truly silly Super Bowl questions, and more. And of course, your OG Sports Phone calls to close it out.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - What's up with Jay Williams?08:00 - Shelby on UNC31:00 - Housekeeping37:00 - WFNZ's Walker Mehl1:07:00 - Lightning Round1:28:00 - OG Gambling Syndicate1:32:00 - Hey JoeOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 672While Duke remains atop ACC, have UNC and NC State turned it around? | Fishel on Raleigh's "Weather Dome" | Lightning Round | 02.02
EAfter a brief Super Bowl Radio Row tangent, Ovies & Giglio lock in on college basketball as the “unofficial” start of the season arrives with Duke vs. UNC. The Blue Devils look like they’re in a tier of their own in the ACC, while the Tar Heels have completely flipped the conversation from two weeks ago — when the pressure was squarely on Hubert Davis. Is the pressure off? Will it ever be for Hubert? Maybe that’s not even the point anymore, as UNC has settled into clearer roles and better overall play. Meanwhile, NC State picked up another road win. Strip away the noise, and the Wolfpack is having a pretty solid season. But the rest of the schedule will ultimately decide whether Will Wade has truly figured out what this team is heading into March.Then it’s over to the weather, where Greg Fishel joins the show to finally answer the eternal Triangle question: Does Raleigh have a “weather dome”? In the Lightning Round, the guys hit the NHL Stadium Series, the Carolina Hurricanes, some college hoops hot takes, and more.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Super Bowl Radio Row still a thing?14:00 - Duke vs. UNC time has arrived26:30 - NC State is good39:00 - OG Gambling Syndicate43:00 - Housekeeping55:00 - Greg Fishel1:08:00 - Lightning Round1:36:00 - Hey JoeOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ep 671OG Mailbag: Y'all know this one is all about logos and jerseys so don't act surprised
EIt’s another OG Mailbag, and Ovies & Giglio are turning the show over to the listeners. Calls and comments drive the conversation as the guys hit everything that’s been lighting up inboxes, timelines, and the OG Sports Phone. The mailbag opens with Triangle snow talk and Giglio having no recollection of the time he balled out in a high school football game. From there, listeners weigh in on Drake Maye and the complicated emotions around rooting for him on the sport’s biggest stage. There are questions about Darian Mensah’s settlement with Duke, what it actually means going forward, and how it fits into the evolving NIL landscape. The Olympics come up too, including what they could mean for teams and players closer to home.And of course, the biggest topic of the week: logos and jerseys. Why do these debates always take over the internet, and why do we care so much?Want the full episode? It's just $5 a month.

Ep 669Drake Maye, Cam Newton & why you should never meet your heroes | Canes check-in | More snow? | 01.29
EOvies & Giglio open "OG Live", brought to you by The Butcher's Market, with Cam Newton once again taking aim at Drake Maye. The former MVP is doubling down on the idea that the former UNC quarterback is, at best, a game manager — and at worst another version of Trent Dilfer. That’s a tough pill to swallow for Maye, who grew up idolizing Cam, even breaking out the Superman TD celebration earlier this season when facing the Panthers. From there, it’s over to the Carolina Hurricanes, whose schedule lightens up heading into the Olympic break even as trade rumors begin to heat up. What should the Canes actually be looking to do as the postseason approaches?And because it’s the Triangle, no week is complete without weather drama. With another winter storm threatening the area, former colleague Nate Johnson of The Weather Channel joins the show to explain what’s coming and what to watch for.Plus, your OG Sports Phone calls and more along the way.TIMESTAMPS:00:00 - Don't meet your heroes14:00 - Housekeeping18:00 - Maniscalco on the Canes38:00 - Will it snow?54:00 - Branding talk with Rhoback1:06:00 - Did PGA beat LIV?1:13:00 - ACC emails1:21:00 - Gordon Miller1:36:00 - Hey JoeOG x BreakingT: https://breakingt.com/collections/the-ovies-giglio-collection?rfsn=7630833.c3bd9f7OG Secret Stash: http://theog.shop/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@OGTriangleMediaOG Membership Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1Qpevj6hElebdWc2SSGkWw/join Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
