CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Tradition, with a twist.
That's what Tar Heel fans can expect at this year's Carolina Basketball Late Night, the tipoff to the 2021-22 season. On Oct. 15, the UNC men's and women's basketball teams, among the most tradition-laden programs in the sport, will take the court at the Dean E. Smith Center. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with the event beginning at 7:30. Entry is free and all seats are general admission.
After a year off due to the pandemic, Late Night is back, but will look a bit different. With Carolina alum Hubert Davis now in his first year at the helm of the men's program, the Tar Heels will introduce a fresh version of Late Night, incorporating elements of previous tip-offs as well as some new nods to UNC tradition.
