Current NCAA Tournament bracket projections suggest UNC hasn’t done enough to make field

Posted Mar 4, 2025
Heading into Tuesday’s 7 p.m. game (ESPNU) at Virginia Tech, most projections suggest that the season-high five-game win streak for UNC against weak ACC competition hasn’t been convincing enough. The Hokies have a NET ranking of 155, making this UNC’s final Quad-3 game of the regular season, and another game that the Tar Heels can’t afford to lose. (Tar Heel Tribune)
