UNC Hires Former NBA Coach Mike Malone | Heels Humbled During Search? | Men's & Women's Final Four Takeaways | 04.06 Apr 06, 2026

Show notes

Ovies hit save the moment news broke that UNC was set to hire former NBA coach Mike Malone — and what you're about to hear is a time capsule of sorts. After Ovies gives his real-time reaction to one of the most out-of-nowhere hires in recent college basketball memory, the rest of the episode is exactly what had already been recorded — a reminder of just how humbling and unpredictable UNC's coaching search turned out to be. Big time programs go through this. Kentucky went through it. Major college football programs have gone through it. Chapel Hill just lived it. The guys also sit down with Mitch Northam to talk UCLA winning the NCAA Tournament and break down what exactly is going on with Geno Auriema. Plus a conversation about the future of the Carolina Hurricanes on local TV and how one local station has struggled to find an identity after going over a decade without the NCAA Tournament. And of course your OG Sports Phone calls to close it out.

UConn Stuns Duke With 19 Point Comeback To Reach The Final Four | NC State Ready To Hire Justin Gainey | OG After Dark Mar 30, 2026

Show notes

Duke had UConn down 19 points and a Final Four trip to Indianapolis was well within reach. And then it wasn't. The Blue Devils did everything they could to hold off the Huskies down the stretch — but critical mistakes at the worst possible moments led to a gut-punch turnover and a dagger three that ended Duke's season and sent UConn dancing to Indianapolis instead. Ovies and Giglio break down the stunning collapses and what it means for Jon Scheyer and the Blue Devils going forward.

PLUS: Coaching search updates for UNC and NC State. While the Tar Heels are in a holding pattern for obvious reasons, the Wolfpack are close to hiring Justin Gainey.

Duke Rallies From 10 Down To Beat St. John's | How The Blue Devils Pulled Off Elite 8 | OG After Dark Mar 28, 2026

Show notes

OG After Dark is back — brought to you by Bloomin Blinds. It wasn't easy for Duke. Then again, this whole tournament has been test after test. The Blue Devils found themselves in a legitimate rock fight with St. John's and staring down a 10-point deficit in the second half with their season on the line. But when it mattered most, Isiah Evans delivered crucial buckets, Cameron Boozer showed why he's one of the most talented freshmen in the country, and Caleb Foster made his return when Duke needed him most. The Blue Devils gutted it out, escaped the Sweet 16, and punched their ticket to the Elite 8.

OG Mailbag: UNC & NC State not fishing in same waters | Will Wade always leaving for LSU Mar 27, 2026

Show notes

It has been one of the wildest weeks in Triangle sports history — and the OG Mailbag is here to make sense of all of it. Hubert Davis is out at UNC. Will Wade pulled his disappearing act after one season in Raleigh. But here's the thing — North Carolina and NC State are not fishing in the same coaching waters, and that's actually OK. Joe Ovies and Joe Giglio dig into the latest out of Chapel Hill, break down what would make the most sense for the Wolfpack, and answer the question nobody saw coming — is NC State football coach Dave Doeren the biggest winner in all of this chaos? Plus, did Boo Corrigan ever really have a chance to keep Will Wade in Raleigh? And more!

American Wankster: Will Wade Leaving NC State For LSU | Wolfpack Coaching Candidates | Lloyd vs Donovan For UNC? | 03.26 Mar 26, 2026

Show notes

It's been a week in Triangle basketball...maybe even the wildest! Ovies and Giglio are making sense of all of it. Will Wade is gone — one season in Raleigh and he's headed back to LSU, leaving NC State to pick up the pieces before the calendar even flips. Was there anything Boo Corrigan could have done to keep him? And more importantly, who's next for the Wolfpack?

Then the guys shift focus to Chapel Hill, where the UNC coaching search is heating up fast. Two names are dominating every conversation — Arizona's Tommy Lloyd, who has been one of the best coaches in the country since taking over the Wildcats, and Billy Donovan. Would Donovan really walk away from the league for college basketball? Ovies and Giglio break it all down before closing things out with your OG Sports Phone calls.
