Two prominent bracket projections now have UNC in NCAA Tournament field

Posted Mar 13, 2025
ESPN’s Joe Lunardi changed his view of UNC in hours, and Bart Torvik has the Tar Heels comfortably in the field as the view of Carolina is starting to shift as their NET ranking went up four spots to 36th. It’s the highest UNC has been in the NET rankings since the Tar Heels were 34th after the Jan. 15 win over California for their fourth consecutive victory. (Tar Heel Tribune)
