UNC Basketball Plans Cherokee Fan Events, Scrimmage Post-Hurricane Helene

News summary

The University of North Carolina men's basketball team, led by coach Hubert Davis, is set to hold a fan-focused weekend in Cherokee on October 17-18, 2025, marking a return to the western part of the state after Hurricane Helene forced last year's events back to Chapel Hill. The weekend will feature a meet-and-greet dinner hosted by Old Well Management at Harrah's Resort, an autograph session at Cherokee High School, and an intrasquad scrimmage at Charles George Memorial Arena. Tickets for the dinner are $100, and admission to the autograph session, which includes access to the scrimmage, is $25. Davis emphasized the value of these events for player development and community engagement, recalling past "barnstorming" events that allowed fans to see players up close in local venues. This initiative reflects UNC's commitment to expanding its presence across North Carolina and fostering strong connections with fans statewide. The scrimmage weekend in Cherokee precedes an exhibition game against BYU scheduled for October 24 in Salt Lake City.
