Cameron Fens won’t play, but UNC’s exhibition vs. USC will show Michael Malone 'where we’re at'

Posted Oct 7, 2026
Two days after his appearance Wednesday at ACC Tipoff, Coach Michael Malone’s Tar Heels will play an exhibition game against Southern Cal at 7 p.m. Friday in Greensboro (ACC Network). The bad news is that South Dakota transfer center Cameron Fens won’t play against the Trojans because he’s still ineligible as he waits for a favorable court ruling. (Tar Heel Tribune)
