UNC Men's Basketball is projected to be a No. 6 seed in the 2026 NCAA Tournament, but it's unclear where the Tar Heels will start March Madness. Ranked No. 19 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll and AP Top 25, the Tar Heels (24-8) learn their destination and opponent on Sunday, March 15. The Selection Show is at 6 p.m. and is televised on CBS. (MSN.com)

Where Does UNC Basketball Go From Here?

There are two routes UNC Basketball can take moving forward: it can be the team it was in the second half at Duke and for the first 35 minutes against Clemson in the ACC Tournament — and lose in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Or, it can learn from Thursday's 80-79 loss and make a run. Which direction the Tar Heels will take remains uncertain. (TarHeel247)

Five Questions With Derek Dixon: 'We're Only Promised One More Game'

Lost amongst the disappointment that has come alongside North Carolina Basketball’s last two games, has been the upward trend of Derek Dixon. The Tar Heels’ freshman point guard is 11-of-18 (61.1 percent) from the field over UNC’s last two contests, including 9-of-14 (64.3 percent) from beyond the arc, while posting five assists to one turnover.

Tar Heels' Late Rally vs. Clemson Offers Blueprint for March

Following the Tar Heels' loss to Clemson, each player echoed a similar sentiment: the final run, although they came up short, was ignited by UNC's improved defense, which opened up its offense. Moving forward, if the Tar Heels want to make a run in the NCAA Tournament, they must build on the final stretch, where they played with urgency and confidence. (TarHeel247)

Don’t ever forget Doug Moe

Doug Moe was a star at Brooklyn's historic Erasmus Hall High School, a two-time All American at UNC, where he played from 1958-61 and, as a senior, averaged 20.4 points and 14 rebounds. He was a three-time All-Star in the American Basketball Association — a teammate of Brooklynite Larry Brown with the New Orleans Buccaneers – and won a league championship. (Brooklyn Eagle)

Two shocking stats perfectly capture the inconsistency of the Hubert Davis era

The Hubert Davis era has been nothing more than a roller coaster. Now five years into his tenure as the head coach of the UNC basketball program, the common trends that have been there essentially since day one have never gone away. If those were good trends, you'd love to hear that, but these types of trends are mind-boggling to think about. (Keeping It Heel)

UNC Basketball prepares for March Madness after 'unacceptable' ACC Tournament

A senior co-captain, Elijah Davis knows the runway is running out for UNC, which lost its first game in the ACC Tournament for the first time in 12 years. Rocking a long-sleeved 'Lock It In' shirt for 2026 March Madness, the son of UNC Basketball coach Hubert Davis is hopeful the Tar Heels can "lock it in" better than they did against Clemson in Charlotte.

Tar Heels Dig Too Deep a Hole Yet Again

Rarely, if ever, is it wise to wait to get punched before swinging back — especially when tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. It’s an issue North Carolina has dealt with all season, and again Thursday night the Tar Heels stepped too close to the fire and paid for it, unable to overcome an 18-point second-half deficit in an 80-79 loss to Clemson in the ACC quarterfinals.

Hubert Davis On UNC's ACC Tournament Exit: 'Not A Recipe For Success'

Hubert Davis: "Clemson has always been physical defensively, and one of the things I always say is you never let a defense dictate and decide how efficient you are on the offensive end. And I felt like their physicality took us out of our offense, off of our cuts, our screens, our moves, and didn’t respond to that until the latter part of the second half." (Inside Carolina)

Another Quad 1 loss has UNC Men's Basketball likely ticketed for 6 seed

After blowing one last chance for a Quad 1 victory to impress the NCAA tournament committee, No. 19 North Carolina is likely destined to no better than a 5 seed and likely a 6 seed when the brackets are announced Sunday. Given that it was a narrow loss in a Quad 1 game, UNC fell only one spot in the NET (from 23 to 24) and the WAB (from 19 to 20). (Tar Heel Tribune)
