Thursday afternoon it was announced by college basketball analyst, Rocco Miller, that WVU men’s basketball would be playing in the second annual Dick Vitale Invitational in Charlotte, NC. That in and of itself is something Mountaineer fans should be excited about. What may be even more exciting, though, is WVU’s opponent. The Mountaineers will be taking on the North Carolina Tar Heels.
This will be the first meeting between West Virginia and North Carolina since New Year’s Eve of 1965. The Mountaineers won that matchup 102-97. As a matter of fact, WVU has never lost to UNC. They hold a 5-0 record against the Tar Heels.
The Dick Vitale Invitational will take place on November 27, 2026. The game will be played inside the Spectrum Center in Charlotte.
