The UNC men’s basketball team will have another chance for a signature non-conference win this Saturday, as the Tar Heels will take on No. 23 Ohio State in New York as part of the CBS Sports Classic. Carolina is hoping this meeting with the Buckeyes goes better than the last one, when Ohio State thrashed UNC 74-49 in Chapel Hill during the ill-fated 2019-20 season.

If you aren’t making the trip to the Big Apple with the Tar Heels, here’s how to 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 1:30 p.m. with Countdown to Tip-Off With Brighton McConnell.

At 2 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

The game will be broadcast on CBS. Television coverage will start at 3 p.m. The Triangle’s local CBS affiliate is WNCN. As of today, DirecTV, Xfinity, Dish Network and Spectrum all carry CBS.

What if I don’t have cable?

A live stream will be available on CBS’s online platforms. You must enter your television provider for access. Additionally, several cord-cutting options carry CBS.

YouTube TV is $65/month and carries CBS.

DirecTV STREAM and Hulu TV both also carry CBS, but are slightly more expensive at $70/month.
