The most recent game in Chapel Hill was the previous season, when Carolina won 77-73 at Carmichael on Dec. 12, 1987.
UNC leads the overall series 11-9. The last 12 games in a row have been at neutral sites, with the most recent three coming in the NCAA Tournament. On March 25, 2022, South Carolina won 69-61 in a Sweet 16 game in Greensboro, N.C., and the Gamecocks went on to win the NCAA title.
