North Carolina At Chapel Hill

On Tuesday night ACC Network released the 2023-24 conference basketball schedule. North Carolina, along with the other 14 schools in the conference, will play a 20-game league schedule with home games only against Louisville, Notre Dame, Virginia Tech, and Wake Forest; road games only against Boston College, Georgia Tech, Pitt, and Virginia; and home-and-home series with Duke, NC State, Clemson, FSU, Miami, and Syracuse.

Hubert Davis’ squad plays FSU at home during the non-conference schedule, between UConn and Kentucky. In the main part of the ACC slate, the Tar Heels will face three straight road games – at Pitt, at Clemson, and at NC State. On the flip side, North Carolina will get three straight road games before the regular season finale at Duke.

Inside Carolina’s On the Beat crew breaks down North Carolina’s 4-0 start on the gridiron and finally, the 2023-24 ACC Basketball schedule drops!

The Almanac included North Carolina’s frontcourt as the seventh-ranked frontcourt in Division I with the return of Armando Bacot, along with the likes of Harrison Ingram, Jae’lyn Withers, and Jalen Washington, while the backcourt is ranked 15th thanks to the return of RJ Davis, plus Elliot Cadeau, Seth Trimble, Cormac Ryan, and Paxson Wojcik. The weird thing is that as a team, the Almanac ranks Carolina 24th. That doesn’t seem to add up. Something has to be missing.

The ACC and SEC released the specific details of the inaugural ACC / SEC Challenge on Monday. North Carolina will host Tennessee at 7:15pm ET on ESPN on Wednesday, November 29.

The North Carolina Tar Heels are 4-0 for the first time since 1997; long enough ago that it was the final year of Mack Brown’s first stint in Chapel Hill. After allowing Pitt a hot start, UNC took control with an Alijah Huzzie punt return TD, a left-handed Drake Maye touchdown pass, and the defense holding down the Pittsburgh offense. JJ Jones had a career night, eclipsing 100 receiving yards for the first time in his career. Huzzie added to his TD with two interceptions.

The North Carolina Tar Heels defeated Pitt, 41-24 in Pittsburgh to improve to 4-0 on the 2023 season. UNC quarterback Drake Maye completed 22 of 30 passes for 296 yards and a touchdown. Maye also rushed for 2 touchdowns as well in the win. Running back Omarion Hampton rushed for 66 yards and a touchdown and wide receiver J.J. Jones caught 6 passes for 117 yards in lead the Tar Heels. Alijah Huzzie added a punt return for a touchdown for the Tar Heels. Pitt running back Rodney Hammond Jr. led the way with 83 yards rushing and a touchdown.

The North Carolina Tar Heels are 24th in the Almanac’s preseason top 25 and therefore also have a four seed in the preseason publication’s bracketology. This is a pendulum swing in the wrong direction, but also an understandable one given last season’s outcome. However, host Isaac Schade says this ranking is too low. Do you agree?

Armando Bacot is the seventh-ranked player in the Almanac’s top 100 players. RJ Davis and Elliot Cadeau are both also on the list.

On September 16 during the UNC-Minnesota football game, the #UNC basketball program hosted a few basketball recruits as unofficial visitors. The Coast to Coast trio of Sherrell McMillan, Sean Moran and Joey Powell discuss those visits from Cole Cloer, Drake Powell and Jackson Keith.

The crew also spends some time breaking down the newly released 247 rankings of the 2024 class and how that impacts UNC’s commits.
