Kentucky, North Carolina matchups highlight Michigan basketball's nonconference slate

The Wolverines will square off against some top competition and in-state foes during the early portion of their 2022-23 schedule.

The Michigan men’s basketball program on Wednesday released its 11-game nonconference slate for this upcoming season, which features five neutral-site contests and plenty of travel with trips to London, New York and North Carolina.

Among the highlights, Michigan will take on a pair of likely preseason top-five teams in Kentucky and North Carolina in December. The Wolverines will travel to England to face the Wildcats in the London Showcase at O2 Arena and will head to Charlotte to meet the Tar Heels — who return most of their starters from last year’s team that reached the national title game — in the inaugural Jumpman Invitational at the Spectrum Center that will include both the men’s and women’s teams.
