UNC Women's Basketball Season Tip-Off Delayed by One Day!
In a recent announcement, the University of Northern Colorado (UNC) has revealed a slight change to its women's basketball schedule. The season opener, a highly anticipated event for fans, has been rescheduled for Tuesday, November 4, at 6 p.m. This means the Bears will now face Northern New Mexico at the Bank of Colorado Arena, giving fans an extra day to prepare for the action.
But here's the twist: the original plan was for a basketball doubleheader! The women's game was initially set for 5 p.m. on Monday, November 3, followed by the UNC men's team taking on Colorado College at 7:30 p.m. on the same day. However, this exciting double-feature has been split up, leaving some fans wondering about the reasons behind the change.
Ticket Holders, Rejoice! UNC Athletic Department has confirmed that tickets purchased for the original women's game on November 3 will still be valid for the rescheduled date. So, if you already have your tickets, you're all set for the new game day!
The women's team is kicking off the season with a home advantage, playing their first four games at their home court.
