Last week, the North Carolina Tar Heels’ men’s basketball team announced that they were going to take on BYU in a high profile preseason exhibition game. This week, the women followed suit with a big clash of their own.
On October 30th, ahead of the new college basketball season, the UNC women will take on South Carolina at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
The Gamecocks have been arguably the preeminent program in the women’s game in recent years. While they lost to UConn in the national championship game last season, South Carolina won the previous title and has two other titles and seven Final Four appearances since coach Dawn Staley took over in 2008.
