Hubert Davis is jumping right back into college hoops, joining TNT Sports as a regular studio and game analyst for the 2026-27 season. And get this: he’s hitting the studio on November 5 for their Big East and Big 12 tripleheader. It’s a quick turnaround for Davis, who was just fired as the head coach at North Carolina at the end of last season.
From the Sidelines to the Studio Desk
Davis spent five seasons at the helm for his alma mater, North Carolina, taking over from the legendary Roy Williams in 2021. His first season as head coach was absolutely wild, guiding the Tar Heels all the way to the Final Four and a national title game appearance, where they ultimately fell short against Kansas. It was a huge start, setting expectations sky-high. He followed that up by guiding UNC to three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances after missing out on the Big Dance in 2023, including a Sweet 16 run as a No. 1 seed in 2024. Davis racked up 125 wins at North Carolina, with a solid 68-30 record in ACC play, before the university decided to make a change. Before coaching, he even spent seven years at ESPN, departing in 2012 to join Williams’ staff. So, this isn’t his first rodeo in front of the camera.
Get Ready For A Full Slate Of Hoops
Now, Davis is bringing his coaching insights and experience right back to the airwaves. His debut on November 5 is going to be part of a massive 2026-27 college basketball season. Earlier this week, CBS, CBS Sports Network, and TNT Sports dropped the full lineup, and it’s looking stacked. We’re talking 465 games running all the way through the NCAA Tournament! That includes 390 regular-season and conference-tournament games spread across CBS, CBS Sports Network, TNT, and truTV. Plus, every single one of the 75 games in the 2027 NCAA Tournament will be covered.
It’s going to be awesome to hear Davis break down the action, especially with his recent experience in the NCAA Tournament’s biggest moments. Get ready, hoops fans, because it’s going to be a loaded season of college basketball, and Davis is right in the thick of it.
