Win over Pitt does little to help UNC’s NCAA chances in NET rankings

Posted Feb 9, 2025
North Carolina may have kept its hopes alive of making the NCAA tournament with a 67-66 Quad-2 victory Saturday over Pitt, but the win did little to bolster the team’s resume. The Tar Heels, who fell to 44th in the NET ranking after the loss at Duke a week earlier, slipped to 45th even though they didn’t play last week and stayed at 45th after the victory.
