First NET men's basketball rankings show December Quad 1 games big for UNC Posted Dec 4, 2023 The first NET rankings of the season that came out Monday show that it will be important for the UNC men's basketball team to take advantage of three more Quad 1 non-conference opportunities this month since those chances will be rare in ACC play. Even with one Quad 1 victory already earned, North Carolina debuted at only No. 32 in the NET rankings. (Tar Heel Tribune)
