At 2 PM ET on ESPN, #10 North Carolina will face #2 Texas in the first basketball game played at Cowboys Stadium. The Sporting News’s Daniel Blank examines the game…
Texas will be the fifth ranked team the Tar Heels have played and the fourth that has been ranked in the top 10. They beat Ohio State when it still had Evan Turner and manhandled Michigan State at home. Their two losses were to Syracuse in Madison Square Garden, and Kentucky, by two points, in Rupp. The Longhorns will have to step up from playing the likes of Texas State and Texas-Pan American; Carolina will not have to make such an adjustment.
Also, at 4 PM ET on CBS, #15 Gonzaga and #7 Duke square off at Madison Square Garden as part of the Aeropostale Classic.
