After surviving the unforgiving wrath of the AP voters earlier this week, the No. 14 North Carolina Tar Heels will welcome the UNC-Wilmington Seahawks into the Dean Smith Center. The Heels will look to rebound from the loss that they suffered up north against Michigan in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge last week.
The UNCW Seahawks are led by former UNC assistant coach C.B. McGrath, who helped lead the Tar Heels to their 6th NCAA national championship when they defeated the Gonzaga Bulldogs in 2017. In his first year as head coach, McGrath and his team went on to finish with an 11-21 record, winning seven of their eleven conference matchups.
