Projection: likely out

North Carolina's season reflects both impressive offensive prowess and significant defensive shortcomings, which heavily influences their standing. The team has delivered notable victories, such as their tight win against UCLA, showcasing their scoring capabilities against high-caliber opponents. However, frequent losses, particularly against top teams like Auburn and Alabama, highlight their struggles in critical matchups. Additionally, the inconsistency displayed in close games, evident in losses to Stanford and Wake Forest, raises concerns about their ability to perform under pressure. With upcoming matches against teams like Pittsburgh and Virginia, success in these games is essential for bolstering their tournament resume.
