The Michael Malone era at North Carolina is off to a promising start, as the Tar Heels have taken care of business through their first two games of the new season.
After opening the season with a victory over Western Carolina, the Tar Heels followed that performance with a dominant 109-70 win over Wofford on Friday night.
The offensive explosion against the Terriers was an encouraging sign for a Tar Heels squad that features plenty of new faces. As Malone continues to build his system, UNC is already showing glimpses of this revamped roster's potential.
Now, the Tar Heels turn their attention to Wyoming, which makes the trip to Chapel Hill for a Tuesday night non-conference matchup.
UNC will look to improve to 3-0 while continuing to build chemistry on both ends of the floor. With a more challenging matchup against Georgia looming on Friday night, the Tar Heels certainly don't want to overlook the Cowboys.
Here's everything you need to know to catch Tuesday night's action.

What to watch for against Wyoming
One of the biggest takeaways from UNC's victory over Wofford was the offensive production. After scoring just 80 points in the season opener, the Tar Heels erupted for 109 in their second outing, offering a much more encouraging look at what this offense can do.
However, scoring isn't the only area that Malone will be evaluating.
Rebounding has been a focus early in the season, and the Tar Heels will need to keep improving their physicality and consistency on the glass. While the Tar Heels have plenty of offensive weapons, winning the rebounding battle and limiting second-chance opportunities will be crucial as the competition gets tougher.
The continued development of players like Maximo Adams and Jarin Stevenson will also be worth monitoring. Adams is coming off the first double-double of his college career, while Stevenson continues to establish himself as an important piece of Malone's rotation.
With Georgia awaiting on Friday night, Tuesday's matchup gives North Carolina another chance to fine-tune its approach before the schedule gets increasingly challenging.
For now, the focus is simple: protect the home court, continue building momentum, and keep the unbeaten start alive.
