South Carolina vs. North Carolina pairs two national-title contenders, and NC State vs. Kentucky gives Wolfpack fans a short trip to see their team on a neutral floor against an SEC opponent.
A Sunday showcase in Uptown
With a 3:00 PM start, this is an easy family afternoon: Spectrum Center is on the LYNX Blue Line and Trade Street in the middle of Uptown, surrounded by parking decks and pregame food options. Expect big traveling crowds from Columbia, Chapel Hill and Raleigh — the building has hosted this event before and it plays like a postseason atmosphere in November.
