Most projections suggest UNC hasn’t done enough to make NCAA Tournament, but some have Tar Heels in

Posted Mar 8, 2025
If the NCAA men’s tournament selection committee sees UNC the way most projections have it, the Tar Heels still have work to do to make the field. There’s little doubt that an upset Saturday at the Smith Center (ESPN) against No. 2 Duke (27–3, 18–1 ACC; 1st in NET rankings) would be enough to put UNC (20–11, 13–6; 38th in the NET) into the field.
