Texas is gearing up for a tough challenge as they head to Las Vegas on Thanksgiving to take on the 7th ranked team, North Carolina Tar Heels, in the Invitational Continental Tire tournament. This matchup kicks off the four-team event, with UCLA or Michigan State awaiting the winner on Friday.
North Carolina has had a strong start to the season, boasting a 5-0 record with wins over Wofford and Stanford. Roy Williams’ team remains undefeated, with their closest game resulting in an 11-point victory against Wofford.
On the other hand, UNC continues to live up to expectations this season, playing fast-paced basketball by blending top-rated and experienced players. Players like Luke Maye, a 6’9 senior, and Nassir Little, a 6’6 freshman, pose significant threats to Texas with their skill sets. Maye’s versatility on the court and Little’s promising talent make them players to watch in this matchup.
The game is scheduled to be broadcast on FS1 in Las Vegas at 6:30 pm.
