Projections suggest UNC won’t make NCAA Tournament; would Tar Heels accept NIT bid?

Posted Mar 16, 2025
The projections for North Carolina have only become less favorable since Friday’s ACC tournament semifinal loss to No. 1 Duke. If the NCAA men’s tournament selection committee agrees, winning eight of their last 10 games — with the only losses against the Blue Devils (31-3; 1st in NET) — won’t be enough for the Tar Heels (22-13) to make the field.
