UNC’s First Weekend Fate: Triumph or Unexpected Exit?
North Carolina will open NCAA Tournament play on Thursday when it faces VCU at 6:50 p.m. Eastern.
VCU is a seasoned bracket-buster — the type of opponent that has ended many higher seeds’ runs before they ever got started. If the Tar Heels get past the Rams, a likely second-round matchup with No. 3 seed Illinois would be even more daunting. With Hubert Davis’ seat starting to warm and a once-promising season on the brink, North Carolina could be headed for another early exit from the NCAA Tournament and a second straight year without a trip past the first weekend.
