CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (WNCN) — North Carolina’s women’s basketball team is looking to improve on last season, when they made the NCAA Tournament but only finished in the middle of the Atlantic Coast Conference standings and narrowly lost in the second round of the conference tournament.
On Tuesday night, the newly-expanded ACC released the full slate of conference schedules for all the men’s and women’s basketball teams.
The Tar Heels start ACC play at home against Georgia Tech on Dec. 15. Their away games this season include contests at the conference’s newest members — Cal, Stanford and SMU — as well as at Miami, Pitt, Syracuse and Louisville.
UNC is also set to make the trip up Tobacco Road to face rival Duke on Feb. 27. They’ll host their other Triangle rival, NC State, in Chapel Hill on Feb. 16. The Tar Heels are only scheduled to play the Blue Devils and Wolfpack once each in the regular season this year.
Carolina’s non-conference schedule includes a game against UConn in Greensboro on Nov. 15, at least three contests in the Battle 4 Atlantis in the Bahamas the week of Thanksgiving and a matchup with Florida in the 2024 Jumpman Invitational in Charlotte on Dec. 18. In this year’s SEC/ACC Challenge, UNC will host Kentucky on Dec. 5.
Here’s the Tar Heels’ full schedule, with home games in bold.
