The Tar Heels men's basketball team dominated Georgetown with an 81-61 victory on Sunday. Caleb Wilson and Henri Veesaar both notched impressive double-doubles, leading the team to an 8-1 record. Next up, the Heels face off against the Duke Blue Devils on Saturday, December 13, at 7 p.m. in the Dean Smith Center. Let's pack the house and show our support! Looking for a break from studying? The PlayMakers Repertory Company is hosting a special performance at the Historic Playmakers Theatre on Wednesday, December 10, at 7 p.m. It's a great way to unwind and enjoy some local talent. On the dining front, the popular food truck "Carolina Cravings" will be stationed outside the Student Union from Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. They're known for their gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches—a perfect comfort food during finals. This week in Chapel Hill, expect chilly temperatures with a mix of sun and clouds. Monday brings a chance of rain and snow showers, so bundle up and watch for slippery spots. The rest of the week remains cold, with highs in the 40s and lows dipping into the 20s. Keep that winter coat handy! Your move: If you're planning to attend the PlayMakers performance on Wednesday, reserve your free ticket online by Tuesday evening. Seats are limited, so act fast! That's your quick Campus Update.
