Later in September, the North Carolina Tar Heels will begin practice in preparation for the upcoming 2018-19 college basketball season. Earlier this Summer, the Tar Heels finalized a tough non-conference schedule including games against Kentucky, Michigan, Stanford and Michigan State/UCLA.
While that non-conference schedule was finalized, fans waited for the release of the Atlantic Coast Conference schedule. On Thursday, fans got their wish.
The ACC released the full 2018-19 conference schedule which is set to tip-off on January 1 between Notre Dame and Virginia Tech. N.C. State will play on Miami January 3rd, the openers for both teams.
