UNC vs Western Carolina basketball: Game preview

Tonight, a remarkable stretch for Carolina ends. Since November 20th, or a span of 17 days, the Tar Heels have played eight games, basically averaging a game every other day. Half of the games were played in the Pacific Time Zone, and only three have been true home games. Remarkably, Carolina is looking to have a 7-1 record over that stretch. Their final opponent? The Catamounts of Western Carolina. What should we expect tonight on the court?

The Catamounts are led by Larry Hunter, one of the longest-tenured coaches in basketball. Hunter has been a head coach for 37 seasons and has gone to the NCAA Tournament 11 times.
