With Hurricane Florence approaching the Carolinas, the West Virginia-NC State and UCF-North Carolina games scheduled for Saturday have been canceled, it was announced Tuesday.
In a statement, UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham called it "the sensible decision at this time'' with Florence's projected path carrying the storm through the state.
Hurricane Florence churned Tuesday toward an Eastern Seaboard landfall as a million people were ordered to leave the coast and millions more prepared for what could be one of the most catastrophic hurricanes to hit the region in decades.
