On Wednesday morning, CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein reported the upcoming home-and-home series between the Tar Heels and Hoyas. He noted that UNC will host Georgetown in Chapel Hill this season — no official date set but expected to take place in December — and travel to face the Hoyas in Washington, D.C., the following season.
Dating back to their first meeting in 1920, UNC is 4-5 in its all-time matchups versus Georgetown.
The programs famously played for the national title in 1982, a 63-62 Tar Heel victory thanks to the game-winner by then-freshman standout Michael Jordan. They last squared off on March 25, 2007, a 96-84 Georgetown win in the NCAA Tournament Elite Eight.
Last season, the second Georgetown campaign under Ed Cooley’s command, the Hoyas finished 18-16 overall and 8-12 in Big East play, missing the Big Dance for the fourth straight year. Meanwhile, the 2024-25 UNC basketball team, posting a 23-14 overall record and 13-7 clip in ACC action, squeaked into March Madness before falling to Ole Miss in the Round of 64.
