The UNC men's basketball team, off to a 2-0 start in Michael Malone's first season as head coach, welcomes a fellow undefeated in Wyoming to Chapel Hill for a Tuesday night battle.
North Carolina barely survived Western Carolina in its season-opener on November 2, but looked plenty more like the team fans expect in a 39-point blowout of Wofford on Friday. The Tar Heels continued their balanced scoring attack Malone previously praised, with five players reaching double-figures, while defense took a major step up.
Wyoming has a pair of dominant wins to start 2026, beating Regis University and Idaho State by a combined 78 points. The Cowboys shoot well from deep, highlighted by four regulars averaging 50 percent, with a good mix of scoring from their
frontcourt and backcourt.
Led by 7'1" freshman Sayon Keita, UNC has a sizable height advantage it can use to bully Wyoming. 6'10" Jarin Stevenson is a matchup nightmare for any opponent, but North Carolina needs additional post help to unlock its full potential.
The Tar Heels won their lone previous matchup against the Cowboys, 90-74, in a March 2003 NIT matchup from Chapel Hill. Who'll win tonight's battle of undefeateds?

UNC vs. Wyoming live updates, analysis
UNC could be in trouble on the boards...
03:27 PM ET, November 10 2026There's no secret North Carolina struggles to rebound the basketball, particularly on the offensive glass. Western Carolina out-rebounded the Tar Heels by nine, while Wofford had a +3 margin on the offensive glass.
Wyoming enters Chapel Hill with the country's top offensive rebounding percentage, sporting a +13 margin over its first two opponents.
What if I told you that Carolina's greatest weakness meets Wyoming's greatest strength?

UNC vs. Wyoming betting odds, prediction
03:11 PM ET, November 10 2026UNC 83, Wyoming 72: The Tar Heels should feel much better about Friday night's performance. North Carolina played aggressive, controlled the boards and defended well. UNC hosts a fellow unbeaten in Wyoming on Tuesday night, with both teams looking to end that rare perfection. The Tar Heels should win, but only if they play like Friday night. North Carolina struggles to distance itself early, but a late second-half means 3-0 for the good guys.
