CHARLOTTE — It’s ACC Tipoff week, and you can stream all press conferences on ACC Network Extra (ESPN3).

The event is being held at The Westin Charlotte, with the women’s players and coaches talking with the media on Tuesday and the men’s players and coaches taking their turn on Wednesday.

The press conference for Coach Courtney Banghart and juniors Deja Kelly and Kennedy Todd-Williams will start at 9 a.m. Tuesday. Coach Hubert Davis and players Armando Bacot, RJ Davis and Caleb Love will appear at the men’s press conference at 3:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Carolina is the only ACC men’s team that will have three players at ACC Tipoff. Each of the rest of the men’s teams will only have two players appear.

All of those Tar Heels are likely to also appear at some point on ACC Network, which will have nine hours of coverage each day, starting at 8 a.m.

A forum featuring ACC commissioner Jim Phillips will air on ACC Network at 8:30 Wednesday morning. Phillips is also scheduled to appear on ACCN at 3:45 p.m. Tuesday and 11:30 a.m. Wednesday.
