Path for UNC Women's Basketball includes potential early matchup with No. 1 seed

Posted Mar 16, 2026
UNC Women's Basketball will see a familiar scenario if the Tar Heels advance to the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament. A No. 1 seed, again, will likely be waiting. This time, it would be No. 1 overall seed UConn in the Sweet 16. If that happens, it will mark the third time in four seasons that UNC has faced a No. 1 seed in the first three rounds.
