UNC will play its first official game outside of Chapel Hill Tuesday when it faces St. Bonaventure in Fort Myers, FL Tuesday evening. The game is the first of two Carolina will play as part of the Fort Myers Tip-Off.

If you aren’t headed down to Florida with the team, 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.
