Carolina Announces WBB Nonconference Schedule
August 7, 2023 | Women's Basketball
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The North Carolina women's basketball team will open the 2023-24 season with a challenging slate of nonconference games that includes matchups with at least five teams that played in the 2023 NCAA Tournament.
For third year in a row, the Tar Heels open the season against a team coming off an NCAA appearance, this time Gardner-Webb, which visits Carmichael on Nov. 8 to tip off 2023-24.
Other home games against Davidson (Nov. 12), Hampton (Nov. 15) and Elon (Nov. 18) follow before the Tar Heels hit the road for the first time, headed to Florida for the Thanksgiving weekend. There, they'll face Vermont on Nov. 24 in the opener of the Gulf Coast Showcase in the Fort Myers area. The Catamounts rode a 17-game winning streak into the NCAA Tournament in 2023.
Also in the field are national runner-up Iowa and second-round NCAA team Florida Gulf Coast, as well as WNIT participants Kansas State and Western Kentucky.
The Tar Heels return from Florida to host South Carolina on Nov. 30 as part of the ACC/SEC Challenge. After winning the NCAA title in 2022, the Gamecocks reached the Final Four in 2023.
After another home game against UNC Greensboro on Dec. 6, UNC travels to Uncasville, Conn., to take on UConn on Dec. 10 as part of the Hall of Fame Women's Showcase. The Huskies reached the NCAA Sweet 16 in 2023.
One more home game, against Western Carolina on Dec. 15, follows the trip to Connecticut. The Tar Heels close out nonconference play at the Jumpman Invitational in Charlotte, facing Oklahoma there on Dec. 19. The Sooners reached the second round of the NCAA Tournament last season.
The Atlantic Coast Conference schedule for 2023-24 has yet to be announced.
UNC finished the 2022-23 season 22-11 and played in the NCAA Tournament for the third year in a row, reaching the second round. The Tar Heels return three starters and seven letterwinners from that squad and also welcome eight newcomers: a highly-ranked five-member freshman class and three transfer students in Lexi Donarski, Maria Gakdeng and Indya Nivar.
