Seth Trimble gave North Carolina 33 points and the Tar Heels gave Memphis basketball a 84-76 loss Tuesday in preseason charity exhibition action at FedExForum. Penny Hardaway's Tigers − which are returning just one scholarship player from the 2023-24 season − controlled the majority of the first half and took a 33-31 lead into the break.

For the first time since a Sweet 16 loss to Auburn on March 29, 2019, UNC basketball will play a game without Armando Bacot on its roster when the preseason No. 9 Tar Heels visit unranked Memphis for an exhibition bout at 7 p.m. ET Tuesday (ESPNU).

ACC player of the year RJ Davis didn’t play for the North Carolina Tar Heels in their exhibition win at Memphis on Tuesday night. But backcourt mate Seth Trimble sure did.
