UNC Basketball's NET ranking falls to season-low as NCAA résumé takes hit

Posted Jan 16, 2026
The good NCAA tournament résumé UNC built up during nonconference play is falling apart. After the Tar Heels fell to 3-3 in Quad 1 games with their loss Wednesday at Stanford, they fell eight spots in the NET rankings to a season-low 30. That’s the lowest since UNC was 32 at the end of last season, when it barely slipped into the tournament field. (Tar Heel Tribune)
