This young man really is the gift that keeps on giving. North Carolina freshman Caleb Wilson can do no wrong these days, as he can't stop living up to his 5-star hype. Wilson was once again brilliant over the weekend, powering the Tar Heels to a dominant win over Georgia Tech.
History warns UNC the game before Duke is never an automatic victory
The victory was special for Wilson for several reasons. To start, it was an Atlanta homecoming for him, with the youngster dazzling in front of friends and family. On top of that, Wilson made some UNC history and his reaction to things tells you how humble he is despite having so much success with the ACC powerhouse:

Caleb Wilson can't stop making history for Hubert Davis and UNC basketball
In the dominant road win over the Yellow Jackets, Wilson indeed was fantastic with the ball in his hands, scoring a team-high 22 points. With that performance, he's now No. 1 all-time at UNC as a freshman for most games with at least 20 points.
The fact that he passed UNC legend and national title winner Tyler Hansbrough makes things even better for him. Wilson has been so much fun to watch and he's going to look to keep things going on Monday night at the Smith Center against Syracuse.
This is a game the Tar Heels can't overlook, as we all know what's coming next on Saturday. Yup, that'd be the primetime matchup between the Tar Heels and Blue Devils. Whenever UNC and Duke face off, there's a ton of drama and this upcoming battle is going to be no different.
Chapel Hill is going to be rockin' all week leading up to tip-off for that contest vs. Duke, as fans are going to have an upset in mind. In order for that to potentially happen, there's no question that another 20+ point showing from Wilson will need to be on the way. Don't be surprised if he answers the call for Hubert Davis with the rest of the country watching.
