Consensus bracket projections have UNC Basketball as 6 seed, beginning play in Oklahoma City
Posted Mar 15, 2026
UNC Basketball appears destined for a No. 6 seed, beginning play in Oklahoma City, when the NCAA Tournament committee reveals the bracket at 6 p.m. Sunday. The consensus of 120 projections listed Sunday on Bracket Matrix has No. 19 Tar Heels as the second-highest No. 6 seed. The path for a No. 6 seed can be easier than for a No. 5 seed.
