The UNC men’s basketball team will continue play in the ACC Tournament in Brooklyn Friday night against No. 7 seed Virginia Tech. The Tar Heels are looking to improve on their finish in the 2021 conference tournament, when the team fell in the semifinals. Carolina hasn’t won the ACC Tournament since 2016.

If you aren’t in the Big Apple for the tournament, here’s how you can 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 8 p.m. with Countdown to Tip-Off with Brighton McConnell.

At 8:30 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

The tentative tip-off time for the game is set for 9:30 p.m., with television coverage starting at the same time on ESPN. However, this time is subject to change, as it is dependent on the first game of the night, which begins at 7 p.m. Should that game run long, the start time for Carolina’s game would be pushed back.

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.
