Projection: next four out

North Carolina's chances for the NCAA tournament are shaky at best, primarily due to a mixed bag of performances and disappointing losses. While they've shown offensive firepower, particularly in tight wins against notable opponents like UCLA and Dayton, their defensive inefficiencies have cost them critical games. Losses to teams like Auburn, Kansas, and Florida indicate vulnerabilities, while defeats to Louisville and Clemson, both of whom are outside the top tier, further weaken their resume. With their current trajectory and upcoming matchups that could swing either way, they will need to establish more consistency and secure stronger wins to solidify their tournament hopes.
