The University of North Carolina men's basketball team will play host to Wofford on Sunday, Dec. 15, at Carmichael Arena, the first regular-season men's basketball game in that venue since 1986.
The game is being played in Carmichael because the Dean E. Smith Center will be hosting December Commencement that day.
"Due to Wofford's playing schedule and Carolina's travel schedule to Gonzaga, it was necessary to play the game on the 15th, but of course we knew that is the date of Commencement," says Senior Associate Director of Athletics Clint Gwaltney. "We appreciate both Coach (Roy) Williams' and Wofford's flexibility in agreeing to move the game to another venue.
