The UNC men’s basketball team will take a trip down Interstate 40 this weekend to face off against NC State. Carolina throttled the Wolfpack, 100-80, in the first meeting this season in Chapel Hill. But the Tar Heels are looking to rebound in Raleigh, after dropping their road matchup with NC State during the 2020-21 season.

If you aren’t making the trip to the game, here’s how to follow along at home:

Broadcast Schedule

Those hoping to listen to the game 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.

All of these broadcasts will be available live on the radio or by streaming on Chapelboro.com. However, the live online stream of 97.9 The Hill’s broadcasts of UNC football games, men’s basketball games, Mack Brown and Hubert Davis Shows are restricted to a 75 mile radius of Chapel Hill. If you live outside of a 75 mile radius of Chapel Hill, you will need to access this programming through GoHeels.com, or your local Tar Heel Sports Network affiliate.

TV Schedule

Television coverage of the game begins at 2 p.m. The game will be broadcast on ESPN. As of today, Spectrum, Dish, Xfinity and DirectTV all carry ESPN.

What if I don’t have cable?

A live stream will be available through ESPN’s online platforms. Additionally, several cord-cutting options carry ESPN.

YouTube TV prices at $65/month and carries all of ESPN’s channels, including ACC Network.

Hulu TV also goes for $70/month and includes all of ESPN’s channels, but does not carry MLB Network, NBA TV or NFL Red Zone.

Sling TV is the cheapest at $35/month. Be sure to avoid Sling Blue, as that package does not carry ESPN.
