Despite another postponement due to COVID-19 issues, UNC basketball has managed to find an opponent for this week’s schedule.
The Tar Heels (14-7, 8-5 ACC) will host Marquette in what would normally be a premier non-conference matchup. But the pandemic and a poor season from the Golden Eagles (10-12, 6-10 Big East) mean that this matchup will be broadcast on ESPN2 for the evening.
Still, Roy Williams and UNC are looking for every possible game to continue building their NCAA Tournament resume before the season ends. A win against Marquette might not move the needle much, but it’s better than nothing.
Tip-Off Time
Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. from Chapel Hill.
Broadcast Schedule
97.9 The Hill is broadcasting every North Carolina basketball game this season.
Our coverage of UNC vs. Marquette begins at 5:30 p.m. with Countdown to Tip-Off. At 6, our broadcast will switch to the UNC basketball pre-game show with Jones Angell and the Tar Heel Sports Network.
Following the game, 97.9 The Hill will carry an hour long post-game wrap-up show.

TV Schedule
The game will be broadcast on ESPN2. As of today, Spectrum, AT&T U-verse, Dish and DirectTV all carry ESPN and the ACC Network.
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 $65/month and carries all of ESPN’s channels (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, etc.) as well as the ACC Network. YouTube TV does not carry the Regional Sports 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. Hulu TV does not carry the Regional Sports Network.
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.
