WSSU Chancellor Elwood Robinson announced the news on his Facebook page on Tuesday afternoon.

The two programs have played each other in an exhibition previously. The Rams faced off against the eventual national champions in 2004, as that Tarheel team included Raymond Felton, Rashad McCants and Sean May.

WSSU will look to measure itself against one of the top teams in all of college basketball as it looks to improve on an 12-15 season in its first year under Cleo Hill Jr. Interestingly enough, the game is scheduled to take place the Friday of its homecoming as its football game is scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 2.
