2025 Tournament PreviewThe Tar Heels went from being a No. 1 seed in 2024 to barely making the field of 68 in 2025 as the final at-large team selected. The Tar Heels have beat up on lower-tier teams for a respectable 36 ranking in the NET and 33 on KenPom, but UNC struggled tremendously against high-caliber competition -- 1-12 in Quad 1 games. That win came against UCLA in December, and the Tar Heels lost to Duke three times this year, most recently in the ACC tournament semifinals. UNC still has leading scorer RJ Davis (17.0 ppg, 3.7 apg, 3.5 rpg), while freshman Ian Jackson (12.4 ppg) provides a secondary threat for the nation's 22nd-ranked offense (per KenPom). The defense is 53rd, partly because it doesn't force turnovers, ranking 310th in turnover rate. The Tar Heels are lucky to be here, and their results against top teams don't bode well, even if they survive the 11-seed play-in game in the South.
