Who and when will UNC Tar Heels play next in 2024 ACC Tournament?

There aren't many North Carolina Tar Heels fans in the world who will soon forget the disastrous 2022-23 season wherein Hubert Davis's team entered the years as the preseason No. 1 team only to then fall apart and miss the NCAA Tournament. But it's been the inverse this year, barely ranked in the preseason and going on to enter the ACC Tournament as the No. 1 seed with a regular-season championship under UNC's belt.

Being the No. 1 seed in the ACC Tournament meant that UNC had a double bye for the first two rounds, leading to their first matchup of the tournament on Thursday afternoon in Washington, DC against the Florida State Seminoles.

Despite a spirited early effort from the Noles, they were no match for an inspired North Carolina team. RJ Davis, Armando Bacot and Cormac Ryan all contributed at least 14 points with Harrison Ingram, Elliot Cadeau and the bench all coming up big in many ways. The result was a dominant win by 25 points that has many wondering if UNC will be a 1-seed in the NCAA Tournament.

But they still have ACC Tournament play left to determine that. And Tar Heels fans are wondering what's next on deck to try and pull off the conference double and win this tournament. We've got you covered with what you need to know.

Who will the UNC Tar Heels play next in 2024 ACC Tournament?

After wins over Florida State and then a much closer affair against Pitt, it's now another date with the Wolfpack for North Carolina. NC State is trying to keep its season alive after upset wins over Duke and Virginia in the quarterfinals and semifinals, respectively, to reach the ACC title game.
