With the release of the 2018-19 ACC conference slate, North Carolina's schedule for the coming season is now complete. The Tar Heels open the season with two road games before hosting Stanford in the Dean E. Smith Center for the home opener on Nov. 12. Two tests will occur at the Las Vegas Invitational over Thanksgiving weekend when UNC faces Texas and either Michigan State or UCLA. North Carolina will take on Michigan in Ann Arbor, Gonzaga at home, and Kentucky in Chicago to round out the major non-conference opponents.

Carolina's ACC schedule features the normal rigor and challenges expected from the nation's premier college basketball conference. The slate starts with two road games at Pittsburgh and at N.C. State. Back-to-back road games occur again when UNC heads to Atlanta to take on Georgia Tech on Jan. 29 and then travels to face Louisville on Feb. 2. The Tar Heels face the Cardinals twice in less than 30 days, but get Virginia at home --- avoiding a road trip to Charlottesville. UNC plays Duke on Feb. 20 in Durham and hosts the Blue Devils on March 9.
