Here’s how you can watch the UNC women’s basketball team take on top-seeded South Carolina on Friday night.

The red-hot North Carolina women’s basketball program is set to take on the top-seeded South Carolina Gamecocks in the Sweet 16 on Friday night. They’ll have to bring their A-game to Greensboro Coliseum if they want to advance to the Elite Eight for the first time since 2014, as South Carolina has lost just two games this season.

The Gamecocks lost in astonishing fashion to Missouri back in late December and to Kentucky in the SEC Tournament championship game. That’s a short list of blemishes for a team that finished the regular season with a No. 1-ranking and ambitions of winning a national title.

The Tar Heels, 25-6, have won nine of their last 11 games including a pair of decisive victories over Stephen F. Austin and Arizona in the NCAA Tournament’s first and second rounds. In order to punch a ticket to their first Final Four in 15 years, they’ll have to get through the supremely talented Gamecocks as well as the winner of the Iowa State/Creighton game to be played late Friday night.

For North Carolina fans that want to catch the game live and in color — and they all should — It’ll be televised on ESPN at 7:00 p.m. EST. Keeping It Heel will have complete coverage of the game from start to finish, including live tweets and updates for fans throughout.
