It’s been eight long months since a game was played that counted, but here we are folks! We made it! Through a tumultuous offseason of change, many heartfelt goodbyes and the scramble to get to know new players, we have arrived at the first game of the 2023-24 basketball season.
The opponent tonight is the Radford Highlanders. They come into Chapel Hill off a winning season last year, 21-15, and earned an invite to the College Basketball Invitational tournament where they lost in the semifinals to the eventual champion Charlotte. They do bring some experience to the roster, and while one would expect the Tar Heel to win, with so much unknown about this squad the Highlanders could provide some problems.
