UNC won’t face N.C. State at home next season in men’s basketball or play Boston College

Posted May 28, 2025
For the first time since 1919, North Carolina won’t play a home men’s basketball game against N.C. State. That’s a result of the new 18-game schedule that the ACC will follow next season. UNC will only play two ACC teams home and home, and those will be Duke as the Tar Heels’ primary scheduling partner and Syracuse as next season's "variable partner." (Tar Heel Tribune)
