The first year of the ACC/SEC challenge is set to take place this season as we will get to see some non-conference battles between programs that often don’t meet in the regular season.
While the North Carolina men’s basketball program will host Tennessee, the women will also be at home and will host a power program. The Tar Heels are set to host a South Carolina program that has been among the best in women’s college basketball over the past few seasons.
The Tar Heels and Gamecocks will meet on Thursday, Nov. 30th at 7 p.m. ET in Carmichael Arena for the challenge game. Broadcast information will be released at a later date.
Mark your calendars, Tar Heels – Carmichael will be 🔥

This will be the 21st meeting between the two programs with UNC holding a 11-9 lead all-time. But this will be the first meeting at a non-neutral site since Jan. 4 1989 when South Carolina beat North Carolina 98-71.
The last time the two teams met was in the Sweet 16 of the 2022 NCAA Tournament with the Gamecocks winning 69-61. South Carolina would end up winning the National Championship that season.
