The UNC men’s basketball team will be back at it late Friday night, as the Tar Heels will host Ivy League visitors Brown for a 9 p.m. matchup in the Dean Smith Center. The Tar Heels and Bears haven’t met since December 1985, when then-No. 1 UNC took a 52-point victory.

If you aren’t making the late-night trek to the Smith Center, here’s how you can follow along at home:

Broadcast Schedule

Those hoping to listen on the radio 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 7:30 p.m. with Countdown to Tip-Off With Brighton McConnell.

At 8 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.

TV Schedule

The game will be broadcast on ACC Network. Television coverage starts at 9 p.m.

What if I don’t have cable?

A live stream will be available on ESPN’s online platforms. Additionally, several cord-cutting options carry the ESPN family and ACC Network.

YouTube TV prices at $65/month and carries all of ESPN’s channels (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, etc.) as well as the ACC Network.

Hulu TV also goes for $65/month and includes all ESPN channels, but does not carry MLB Network, NBA TV or NFL Red Zone.

Sling TV is the cheapest at $46/month for the Orange + Sports Extra package. Make sure to avoid Sling Blue, as that package does not carry ESPN.
