Posted Nov 4, 2024
Carolina basketball begins its 115th season on Monday, when the Tar Heels host Elon at 9 p.m. in the Smith Center. The Elon game is the first UNC will play without Armando Bacot on the roster since an NCAA Sweet 16 game loss to Auburn in Kansas City on 3/29/2019. Bacot played in an ACC-record 169 games and started 168 times over five seasons. (GoHeels.com)
