CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The University of North Carolina and University of Connecticut will play on December 5 in Madison Square Garden New York City in the second game of the 2023 Jimmy V Classic in a matchup of programs that have combined to win 11 NCAA championships, including nine in the last 30 years.
The game will mark the second straight season the Tar Heels will play in the Garden. Last year, Carolina defeated Ohio State in overtime in the CBS Sports Classic.
"It's a great opportunity to play the defending national champions and return to Madison Square Garden, a special place that has meant a lot to me," says third-year UNC head coach Hubert Davis, who was a first-round pick by the New York Knicks in 1992 and played four seasons with the Knicks.
