Nearly half of bracket projections leave UNC out, Tar Heels fall more in NET rankings

Posted Feb 2, 2025
UNC has a lot of work to do 43 days from Selection Sunday, and that’s reflected in the latest bracket projections. The Tar Heels are left out of the field on 49% of the projections listed on Bracket Matrix (45 of 91), with the highest projection as a No. 10 seed. UNC fell three spots to 44 in the NET rankings after Saturday’s 87-70 loss at No. 2 Duke. (Tar Heel Tribune)
