UNC Basketball Roundtable: Which non-conference game will be the toughest?

We take a look at which non-conference game is the toughest for the UNC basketball program during the 2023-24 season.

As North Carolina gets set to open up the 2023-24 college basketball season, we wanted to look at the schedule ahead for Hubert Davis and his Tar Heels.

They will open up the season by hosting Radford but do have some really tough non-conference games coming up in the months of November and December. UNC will participate in the Battle 4 Atlantis during Thanksgiving week before also playing Tennessee, UConn, Kentucky, and Oklahoma among others.

The stretch from November 22nd to December 20th looks like this:

  • Nov. 22: Battle 4 Atlantis
  • Nov. 23: Battle 4 Atlantis
  • Nov. 24: Battle 4 Atlantis
  • Nov. 29: vs. Tennessee
  • Dec. 2: vs Florida State (ACC)
  • Dec. 5: vs. UConn (New York)
  • Dec.  16: vs. Kentucky (Atlanta)
  • Dec. 20: vs. Oklahoma (Charlotte)

That’s one of the toughest non-conference schedules in the entire country and will be a challenging one for the Tar Heels.

But which game is the toughest? The Tar Heels Wire staff gave their predictions the latest round table ahead of the season.
