ESPN will broadcast the University of Texas men’s basketball game vs. North Carolina Sat., Dec. 19, at 1pm. This will be the first basketball game to be played in the new Cowboys Stadium. Dan Shulman, Dick Vitale, and Doris Burke will comment on the action. Since the Tar Heels are coached by a man named Roy Williams, my money is on the Horns.
From the Cowboys Stadium website: “The court for the game will be placed at the center of the stadium with a temporary floor seating system installed, which is similar to the set up utilized by the NCAA at the Final Four. Capacity and pricing has not yet been determined, however the upper bowl will not be a part of the initial plans for sale.”
