After wins over UNLV and Stanford, Carolina advances to the championship round of the Maui Invitational to face Texas.

Normally held in Hawaii, the tournament was moved to Asheville due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns. Tournament organizers are making mountainous Asheville feel like the tropical beaches of Hawaii, at least inside the arena.

Carolina doesn’t have losing records against many teams in the nation, but the Tar Heels are 3-8 all-time against Texas.

What if I don’t have cable?

A live stream will be available on ESPN’s digital platforms.

Additionally, several cord-cutting options carry ESPN and the 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.

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.
