Report: North Carolina, Georgetown to begin home-and-home series in 2025

North Carolina and Georgetown are reportedly beginning a home-and-home series in 2025, per CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein. It’s expected to take place in December, early on in the season.

“Georgetown and North Carolina will begin a home-and-home series this season in Chapel Hill, multiple sources told College Hoops Today,” Rothstein wrote. There is no timetable on an announcement. An official date is also TBD, but the game is expected to take place during December of 2025. Both teams are ranked in the ROTHSTEIN 45.“

North Carolina finished 24-13 this past season and made the NCAA Tournament, despite some controversy. Not many considered them to be resume worthy this past season. However, they beat San Diego State in the First Four before falling to Ole Miss in the Round of 64.

As far as Georgetown is concerned, the Hoyas finished 18-16 in 2024-25. They made it to the College Basketball Crown Tournament, playing their way into the quarterfinals, a loss to Nebraska.

North Carolina, Georgetown set for home and home

With North Carolina and Georgetown set for a home and home beginning this year, it’ll be a nice non-conference matchup early next year. One man who will not see it is Drake Powell.

He said he would remain in the NBA Draft process this year and closed the door on a return to UNC. “All in on the draft,” Powell said, per ESPN’s Jeff Borzello. “Door’s closed.”

The talented 6-foot-6 guard spent one season with the Tar Heels, having a sizeable impact while appearing in 37 games. He started 24 of those contests. During that time, Drake Powell averaged 7.4 points and 3.4 rebounds per game. He also chipped in 1.1 assists, 0.7 blocks and 0.7 steals per game.

On his way out at the NBA Combine, Powell offered up some kind words to his former coach, Hubert Davis. Davis coached Powell for just one year.

“Hubert Davis has been very supportive during this process,” Powell said. “I’ve known him for a long time … and he’s just happy for me.”
