The North Carolina Tar Heels resume to action on Friday after their season started off with a win against the Wofford Terriers. In what will be another road game for Carolina, they will go to a place they haven’t visited since the 1950 season.
The Elon Phoenix will not only be hosting a large crowd for their home opener and for the opponent with the Tar Heels coming to town but more importantly, it’s the debut of the new Schar Center for Elon basketball. The new area is a major upgrade from the old 1,585-seat Alumni Gym, which was its home for 69 years, and holds a capacity of 5,100 seats.
