North Carolina Earns No. 1 Seed in NCAA Tournament Field

Posted Mar 17, 2024
The path to North Carolina’s seventh NCAA men’s basketball title would take the Tar Heels from the Queen City to the City of Angels and, they hope, culminate in the Valley of the Sun. The No. 4 Tar Heels (27-7) are the No. 1 seed in the West Regional, to be played in Los Angeles. Caleb Love’s No. 6 Arizona team (25-8) is the No. 2 seed in the West. (Tar Heel Tribune)
