The North Carolina women’s basketball program will play some notable names this season, being one of the eight teams participating in the Gulf Coast Showcase.
It is reported that UNC will be one of the eight teams to play in this showcase, along with Kansas State and Iowa, with women’s basketball star sensation Caitlin Clark. The rest of the field has yet to be announced but wins over Kansas, and Iowa would significantly boost tournament placement come March Madness.
The Tar Heels’ schedule already featured some fantastic teams, especially considering how stacked the Atlantic Coastal Conference will be this year. Factor in the recent announcement of UNC playing UCONN in the Basketball Hall of Fame women’s showcase, and the Tar Heels will have a handful of tuneup games to prepare for a championship run.
On the early top 25 list, UNC cracks the top 10, and the rest of the games should determine if UNC is ready for the big stage.
