It’s UNC basketball vs. Stanford at the Smith Center on Saturday. Follow for live score updates and game highlights.

Highland School (Va.) forward Nate Ament received an offer from UNC basketball head coach Hubert Davis and his staff back in late May. The 6-foot-9, 185-pound phenom never locked in a visit with the Tar Heels. But Davis & Co. checked in with him often, including a few times recently.

The UNC Tar Heels won their fourth consecutive game, rolling past the California Golden Bears who visited Chapel Hill for the first time as an ACC member team.

UNC basketball will try to slow down Stanford's Maxime Raynaud this weekend at the Smith Center. Here's our preview and prediction.

N. Carolina is 3-0 against Stanford since November of 2017, and they'll have a chance to extend that success on Saturday. Both will face off in an ACC battle at 2:15 p.m. ET at Dean E. Smith Center. The timing is sure in the Tar Heels' favor as the squad sits on five straight wins at home while the Cardinal have been banged up by three consecutive losses on the road.
