UNC men’s basketball opens the 2018-19 season with a tough road game against Wofford, a team that beat the Tar Heels 79-75 in Chapel Hill last season.

As such, students at Wofford were eager to get tickets to see the Terriers play host to UNC in Spartanburg, South Carolina. A video from Wofford Athletics, later re-posted by NCAA men’s basketball, showed a long line of students camped out in order to get tickets.

The university’s athletic account would later tweet out that all student tickets had been sold out, meaning UNC will be facing a raucous road atmosphere at Benjamin Johnson Arena on Tuesday.

Tuesday’s matchup against Wofford is the start of a difficult non-conference schedule for Carolina basketball. NCAA.com correspondent Andy Katz made the case for UNC’s non-conference schedule as the toughest in the nation, including this week’s game against Wofford and SoCon Preseason Player of Year Fletcher McGee.

Tip off for UNC and Wofford is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. and will be televised on ESPN2. 97.9 The Hill WCHL will be broadcasting all games as well.
