Video: Locked On Tar Heels - UNC too high in ESPN's way-too-early top 25; Optimal starting lineup?

Posted May 2, 2023
ESPN (Jeff Borzello) released their most recent way-too-early Top 25 college basketball rankings on Monday. North Carolina has moved up from 23rd to 19th. Host Isaac Schade thinks that’s not only too high, but that the Tar Heels shouldn’t currently be ranked at all, despite getting back RJ Davis and Armando Bacot.
