UNC vs. Loyola (MD): Game Thread

We are just moments away from the North Carolina Tar Heels season opener against Loyola (MD). The last time these two teams met was back in 1947, when the Heels defeated Loyola 64-47. In season openers overall, the Heels have a 99-12 record, and look to improve their record to 100 wins after tonight.

This game should be interesting, because it’s very possible that we see some new/different things than we saw in the exhibition against Elizabeth City State. Hubert Davis mentioned during a presser this week that he plans on picking his starting lineup based on the team’s defensive grades, with Bacot backing up that claim.
