Triangle Basketball Teams Adjust Schedules to Play Before Winter Storm Arrives

ACC rescheduled multiple men’s basketball games on Jan. 24 to earlier times to avoid a winter storm expected to bring up to 11 inches of snow, officials said.

  • On Jan. 24, UNC's top-25 game at Virginia was moved up two hours to a Noon start at John Paul Jones Arena in Charlottesville, the change announced Jan. 22.
  • Meteorologists forecast a sizable winter storm across the Southeast for the weekend of Jan. 24, with Charlottesville expecting 7 or 11 inches of snow and Chapel Hill facing snow, sleet, and freezing rain through Jan. 25.
  • The league also shifted the Virginia Tech at Louisville start time from 3:45 to 2:15, while Duke Blue Devils vs. Wake Forest Demon Deacons moved from 5:45 p.m. to Noon and Tar Heels travel plans are set for Jan. 23.
  • The ACC said its protocols require efforts to play if personnel can arrive, and Virginia is one of three games shifting start times due to scheduling and travel logistics.
  • The weekend's shifts change the context for established matchups as Duke Blue Devils return after a week off, with Saturday marking the 145th Duke–Wake Forest series meeting, where Duke leads 98-46.
