Pitt (9–3) finished second in the Big East after losing at home to Cincinnati on December 5 in a game decided by a missed extra point. The Panthers played in the Charlotte bowl (then known as the Continental Tire Bowl) in 2003, losing to Virginia 23–16. The Tar Heels' appearances have accounted for two of the game's three sellouts; the 2008 game attracted its largest crowd ever. UNC has a large alumni and fan base in the area, and Charlotte is only two hours south of the UNC campus. However, the 2009 game only attracted a crowd of 50,389, the smallest in the game's eight-year history.

| - Pitt (9–3) finished second in the Big East after losing at home to Cincinnati on December 5 in a game decided by a missed extra point. The Panthers played in the Charlotte bowl (then known as the Continental Tire Bowl) in 2003, losing to Virginia 23–16. North Carolina (8–4) made its third appearance in the bowl game, and its second in a row. They lost to West Virginia in the 2008 game, 31–30. A deal was initially in the works to have UNC play fellow traditional college basketball power Kentucky in the Music City Bowl. However, this came undone when all of the ACC's top-tier bowl selections passed on ACC title game loser Clemson, forcing the Music City Bowl to select the Tigers. The ACC's bowl selection rules at the time did not allow the conference title game loser to fall below the Music City Bowl, which has the fifth pick from ACC bowl-eligible teams. This sent the Tar Heels to the Meineke Car Care Bowl, which has the sixth pick. The game will mark the seventh time that the two schools have played each other and the first time they will meet in the post-season. Entering the game, UNC led the series 4–2 with the last meeting being a 20–17 Tar Heels victory in Pittsburgh. The Tar Heels' appearances have accounted for two of the game's three sellouts; the 2008 game attracted its largest crowd ever. UNC has a large alumni and fan base in the area, and Charlotte is only two hours south of the UNC campus. However, the 2009 game only attracted a crowd of 50,389, the smallest in the game's eight-year history.
