UNC basketball takes on Pittsburgh after a tough home loss to Georgia Tech over the weekend.

The Tar Heels missed their first 15 shots of the game, but rebounded to make the score closer than it appeared. Meanwhile, Pittsburgh is sitting at 10-4 overall but 1-2 in conference play. A win over UNC would put the Panthers in a comfortable position in the ACC.

Tip-Off Time

Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. from the Dean Smith Center in Chapel Hill.

Broadcast Schedule

97.9 The Hill is broadcasting every North Carolina basketball game this season.

Our coverage of UNC vs. Pittsburgh begins at 5:30 p.m. with the Countdown to Tip-Off with Aaron Keck.

Following the game, 97.9 The Hill will carry a post-game wrap-up show.

You can find our broadcast of the game on 97.9 FM and 1360 AM or streaming online on Chapelboro.com.

TV Schedule

The game will be broadcast on the ACC Network. As of today, Spectrum, Dish and DirectTV all carry ESPN and the ACC Network.

What if I don’t have cable?

A live stream will not be available ESPN’s digital platforms through the ACC Network, but plenty of other UNC basketball games this season will be available for online streaming.

Additionally, several cord-cutting options carry the new ACC Network.

YouTube TV prices at $50/month and carries all of ESPN’s channels (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, etc.) as well as the ACC Network. YouTube TV does not offer NFL Network or NFL Red Zone for pro sports fans.

Playstation Vue prices out similarly at $50/month and carries ESPN and the ACC Network. Vue also carries NFL Network and NFL Red Zone. A key note here: PlayStation Vue will be suspending its services beginning at the end of January.

Hulu TV goes for $45/month and includes all ESPN channels, but does not carry MLB Network, NBA TV, NFL Network or NFL Red Zone.

Sling TV is the cheapest at $25/month, but includes the fewest channels. Make sure to avoid Sling Blue, as that package does not carry ESPN.
