Bad night for Hubert Haters | Mark Gottfried on the state of hoops | Gunner Rivers fever dreams | 02.24 Feb 24, 2026

Show notes

UNC basketball does it again — the Tar Heels knock off Louisville, continuing one of the strangest trends of the season: Carolina can beat teams with national championships on the résumé…except NC State. Then again, did that loss in Raleigh actually fix the Heels? The News & Observer’s Shelby Swanson joins Ovies & Giglio to break down Caleb Wilson’s injury timetable, whether free throws are going to sink this squad in March, and why it was such an interesting night in Chapel Hill with Mack Brown and Bill Belichick in the building.

Staying with college basketball, former head coach Mark Gottfried jumps on to discuss why so many coaches around the country seem to be unraveling, the pressure of the modern game, NIL and the transfer portal era, and whether G League players should have a place in college hoops. In the Lightning Round: Gunnar Rivers sparks Wolfpack fever dreams about Philip Rivers potentially coaching NC State one day, and the Atlanta Braves’ streaming network strategy raises a bigger question — should the Carolina Hurricanes be thinking the same way?

Show notes

Ovies & Giglio open with ACC hoops after Duke forced everyone to revisit the national championship contender conversation with a statement win over Michigan. Where the Blue Devils rank in the title mix can be open to debate, but one discussion is over -- Cam Boozer is your player of the year. The guys also toss around some stray thoughts on NC State and UNC’s remaining schedules before welcoming OG Media Senior Bracketologist Patrick Stevens to break down the weekend’s impact and why the games ahead matter more than ever.

From there, it’s to the ice. Team USA topped Canada with a “golden goal” Olympic win, and NC State IcePack head coach Tim Healy joins the show to discuss how USA Hockey built toward this moment. What does it means to hold all four international gold medals between the men’s and women’s teams, and how the sport can capitalize on the momentum to grow youth participation?

It’s another Butcher’s Market OG Live, and now that the dust has settled from NC State’s win over North Carolina, Ovies & Giglio turn their attention to a rumor circulating out of Baton Rouge about Will Wade and a potential return to LSU Tigers. What’s actually behind it, and how could it affect the rest of the Wolfpack’s season?

Meanwhile in Chapel Hill, the vibe around North Carolina hoops has shifted again following the rivalry win over Duke. Is the pressure back on Hubert Davis? How long could Caleb Wilson be out? And did dramatic win over the Blue Devils change the long-term conversation about the Smith Center?

NC State vs UNC Aftermath: Now What For Pack & Heels? | Brandon Bussi Interview | Orange County DA vs Scheyer | 02.18 Feb 18, 2026

Show notes

Ovies & Giglio open with the obvious—the aftermath of NC State’s blowout win over North Carolina. Will Wade now joins a short list of Wolfpack coaches who opened their Tobacco Road blood feud lore with a win over the Heels. The hard part? Doing it again. And again. Pack fans want to go multiple rounds on the Wade Bed, after all. The guys use the OG Sports Phone to springboard into the bigger takeaways from the rivalry game and what it actually means moving forward.

With the Carolina Hurricanes set to return to action, Ovies & Giglio headed to Wake Competition Center to catch up with goalie Brandon Bussi fresh off his contract extension. They talk about his path to this moment and how he’s staying sharp during the Olympic break. The show wraps with an Ovies rant aimed squarely at the Orange County DA for not knowing ball when it comes to the fallout from Duke head coach Jon Scheyer’s comments about the court storm in Chapel Hill.

BLOOD FEUD: NC State Handles Business Against Hobbled UNC Feb 18, 2026

Show notes

It’s the latest OG After Dark, presented by Bloomin’ Blinds, and the guys went live immediately following NC State vs. North Carolina — the only regular-season meeting between the rivals. It was an “unconventional” night to say the least, with Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesar sidelined due to injuries and Darrion Williams missing a chunk of the first half after a bloody collision that required stitches. Eventually, the game settled into cruise control for the Wolfpack.

Ovies and Giglio break down what the result actually tells us — if anything —about both squads. Does NC State use the win to spring board into a strong regular season finish? Did the lack of Wilson and Veesaar expose Hubert Davis roster construction? Plus, your calls on the OG Sports Phone and plenty of postgame reaction from a rivalry night.
