The ACC and conference schools released their 2006-07 schedule for men’s basketball. UNC’s final at home game this year will be against Duke.

Of note, UNC will be playing Florida Atlantic, formerly coached by former UNC coach Matt Doherty. But it doesn’t stop there. The current head coach of Florida Atlantic, Rex Walters, played for Roy Williams while he was at Kansas. Walters had met Matt Doherty while he was a senior at Kansas. Coach Doherty later hired Walters as an assistant coach in 2005.

What can I say folks — in basketball, the Carolina connections are everywhere.
