UNC vs. Charlotte live updates: Score, predictions, analysis

For the first time since March, your North Carolina Tar Heels will be playing a basketball game in Chapel Hill. Tonight, UNC will host Charlotte in one final preseason tune-up at 7:30 p.m.

This will be Tar Heel Nation’s first chance to watch new head coach Michael Malone in the Dean Dome. North Carolina fans traveled well to watch Malone’s collegiate coaching debut, an 88-70 win over USC on October 9 in Greensboro. UNC then struggled in Malone’s first road game, a 76-58 loss at Indiana on October 18.

The Tar Heels will also welcome former players Wes Miller and Marcus Paige back to Chapel Hill. Miller helped North Carolina win the 2005 National Championship, while Paige (2012-2016) won First Team All-ACC in 2014 and delivered that memorable, game-tying shot in the 2016 title game.

UNC has a deeper roster compared to 2025-26, as evidenced by big games from Jarin Stevenson and Sayon Keita. Expect to see additional Tar Heels step up tonight, including Northwestern transfer Cade Bennerman and several walk-ons.
