The North Carolina Tar Heels will be back in action Thanksgiving day, taking on Villanova with a tip-off time of 2:30 P.M. EST.
This will be the Tar Heel’s second game of the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament, making a statement in game one against UNI. It wasn’t smooth sailing for the Tar Heels against the Panthers, struggling to keep pace in the first half, but once the second period started, it was all UNC.
Some of the struggles that hindered the Tar Heels in the first half were their inability to knock down shots and bad defense. UNC has had the luxury of playing bad teams that could not capitalize off the struggles, so it’s intriguing to see how they fair against a worthy opponent like Villanova, especially with the 2016 memory to play for.
As UNC gets ready for its Thanksgiving Day game, let’s get into our preview for the Tar Heels and Wildcats.
