By R.L. Bynum

More times were filled in Thursday for Carolina’s men’s basketball schedule, with both N.C. State games now set to start in the afternoon.

Instead of the first meeting with the Wolfpack at the Smith Center on Jan. 29 starting at 8 p.m., it will now start at 2 p.m. The second matchup on Feb. 26 in Raleigh, which previously had no announced time, will start at either 2 p.m. or 4 p.m.

The Dec. 5 game at Georgia Tech has been moved up from 4 p.m. to 3 p.m. and the Dec. 29 home game against Virginia Tech, previously without an announced time, will begin at 7 p.m.
