It’s finally basketball season.
The 2022-23 college basketball season tips off on Monday as the North Carolina Tar Heels begin their quest for redemption following a loss in the national championship a year ago. And first up on the list is UNC-Wilmington.
The two teams will tip off the season on Monday night in the Dean Dome with a 9 pm EST start. It’s the first non-conference game of the year for the Tar Heels and the first of two in the week as they will also play on Friday.
It’s no secret that UNC comes into this season with high expectations and rightfully so. With four of five starters back from last season plus the addition of [autotag]Pete Nance[/autotag], a good freshman class and more bench depth, the buzz is there in Chapel Hill as a preseason favorite to win it all.
Now, how they handle the buzz is the biggest question. And we will find out on Monday night as they need to come out strong and have a good showing in the opener.
