More testing will be done Friday with tipoff against the Tigers scheduled for 8:00 p.m. at Littlejohn Coliseum. Martin said the team did have a productive practice on Thursday but any more positive tests could put Saturday's game in jeopardy. Last year's meeting between the rivals was not played as Carolina was dealing with the coronavirus which plagued the team for most of the season.
