Why Did UNC Make The NCAA Tournament?

Posted Mar 17, 2025
Here are some of the reasons we think the Tar Heels got into the tournament: No. 36 NET ranking was the highest of the bubble teams vying for the final spots. UNC won eight of its last ten games by an average of 17 points. Of UNC’s 13 Quad 1 games, 11 have been away from Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels are 21-1 against teams perceived below them.
