North Carolina will defend its 2017 NCAA Championship this next year. And CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein tweeted Wednesday how the Tar Heels will start that journey.

North Carolina will open the 2017-18 season against Northern Iowa in Chapel Hill on November 10th, 2017, per a source. — Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) May 3, 2017

The Tar Heels went 33-7 in 2016-17, including an 85-42 win over Northern Iowa in Chapel Hill on Dec. 21. North Carolina went on to win both the ACC and national titles.

The game will serve as a rubber match of sorts with Northern Iowa capturing the first game of the three-game series in Cedar Falls, Iowa, on Nov. 21, 2015.

Northern Iowa went 14-16 last year.
