The University of North Carolina men’s basketball team is returning to Honolulu for a game against Hawaii.
The perennial powerhouse and Hawaii have agreed to a play a 2016 game in Honolulu.
The game will be the fifth between the two schools. North Carolina has won four.
When the teams last played in 1994, it was the first men’s basketball sell-out at the then-Special Events Arena.
The Nov. 16, 2016, game will be held at what’s now named Stan Sheriff Center.
“This is a tremendous opportunity and honor to compete with one of the premier programs in all of college basketball,” head coach Eran Ganot said. “Can’t say enough about the efforts of so many to make this happen as its not too often you can schedule an opponent of this caliber on your homecourt.”
The ‘Bows have squared off against an Atlantic Coast Conference opponent four of the last five seasons, most recently a 74-70 victory over Pittsburgh last season in Wailuku, Maui. UH is 2-2 over that stretch and 9-24 all-time against the current ACC member teams.
