The last time a winter storm coincided with a rivalry game at North Carolina, news came not long before the scheduled tip-off that the game wouldn't be played, after all. Even so, Roy Williams, the UNC coach, didn't sound concerned about the status of his team's game on Saturday at 8 p.m. against N.C. State.
Asked to describe his confidence level that the game would be played as scheduled Williams said it was “high.”
A winter storm is forecast to arrive late Friday night in central North Carolina. The forecast calls for between five and seven inches of snow in Chapel Hill by Saturday afternoon, and the conditions could be icy and treacherous.
