The UNC men’s basketball team desperately needs a win to right the ship, and an opportunity for one will come Saturday in the Smith Center. Clemson, who is contending for an ACC regular-season crown, will visit the Tar Heels for the first time since breaking its 59-game losing streak in Chapel Hill during the 2019-20 season.
If you aren’t making the trip to the Smith Center for the game, here’s how you can follow along at home:
Broadcast Schedule
Those hoping to listen on the radio with Jones Angell on the call can do so at 97.9 FM and 1360 AM, or by streaming the radio broadcast on Chapelboro.com.
97.9 The Hill’s radio coverage of the game will begin at 12:30 p.m. with Countdown to Tip-Off with Brighton McConnell. At 1 p.m., the broadcast will shift over to Jones Angell and the Tar Heel Sports Network for their pregame coverage until tip-off. They will also carry postgame coverage for approximately an hour after the conclusion of the game.
Per NCAA broadcast restrictions, the stream is turned off for all NCAA Tournament games, meaning you can only access the radio broadcast of NCAA games on and AM/FM radio. For regular season and ACC Tournament game broadcasts, you can access the stream (computer, tablet or phone) through Chapelboro.com, TuneIN or most streaming apps, but you must be within 75-miles of Chapel Hill and have your location services for your device turned on. This applies to Hubert Davis Live but does not apply to Countdown to Tip-Off with Brighton McConnell, which you can stream from anywhere in the world 90 minutes before tip-off! If you live more than 75 miles outside of Chapel Hill, you can access the Tar Heel Sports Network game broadcast stream through the Varsity Network.

TV Schedule
Television coverage of the game begins at 2 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ESPN2. As of today, Spectrum, AT&T, Dish Network, Xfinity and DirecTV all carry ESPN and ESPN2.
What if I don’t have cable?
A live stream will be available on ESPN’s digital platforms.
Additionally, several cord-cutting options carry ESPN2.
YouTube TV prices at $65/month and carries the entire ESPN family of channels, including ACC Network.
Hulu TV goes for $70/month and includes all ESPN channels, but does not carry MLB Network, NBA TV or NFL Red Zone.
Sling TV is the cheapest option at $40/month for the Orange package. Be sure to avoid Sling Blue, as that package does not carry ESPN.
