The University of North Carolina’s men’s basketball team is gearing up to welcome Southern Methodist University (SMU) this Tuesday night in a highly anticipated matchup. The game will take place at 7 p.m. EST in the Dean E. Smith Center, where the Tar Heels aim to improve their record after a challenging season so far. Coach Hubert Davis emphasized the need for his team to play with urgency, stating, ‘Every game is an opportunity for us to grow and get better. We need to come out strong and set the tone early.’ The Tar Heels, currently holding a 9-5 record, have struggled with consistency this season but are looking to harness their home-court advantage against the Mustangs. SMU comes into the game with a 6-8 record and is seeking to rebound after a recent loss. The two teams last met in 2021, when UNC emerged victorious, and they will both be looking to establish dominance in this matchup. In injury news, Seth Trimble is expected to play against SMU, adding an element of depth to the Tar Heels’ lineup. As the stakes rise, both teams will be focused on securing a critical win that could influence their postseason prospects.
