2016 NCAA Tournament: Ranking the Sweet 16 Teams

Posted Mar 22, 2016
2. North Carolina Tar Heels (30-6): If Kansas is No.1, then the Tar Heels are 1B. Roy Williams’ squad has saved its best and most versatile brand of basketball for March. The Tar Heels disposed of No. 16 Florida Gulf Coast in the opening round and then went small against No. 9 Providence to beat the Friars 85-66 on Saturday. UNC has so many ways to beat you.
