'November To Remember' for Michael Malone’s First UNC Basketball Squad

Posted Nov 13, 2026
Despite its considerable growing pains, UNC has a great shot at starting this season 6-0. At the Smith Center on Friday (7 p.m., ESPN2), the Tar Heels face their strongest regular-season opponent yet, 3-0 Georgia, but they will be favored in that game. Then they’ll be much bigger home favorites against both Marshall (Nov. 20) and Monmouth (Nov. 23). (Chapelboro.com)
