Projection: likely out
North Carolina's resume shows some strong offensive capabilities, but their inconsistency, particularly on defense, raises concerns. Their high-scoring games, such as the close loss to Kansas and wins against teams like Alabama and Dayton, highlight their potential, yet the inability to secure wins in critical matchups—evident in losses to teams like Auburn and Michigan State—diminishes their profile. Additionally, upcoming games will be pivotal; facing ranked opponents like Pittsburgh and Duke poses a challenge, while games against lower-ranked teams like Virginia Tech and Boston College offer opportunities to bolster their resume. Consistency and successful territorial battles within their conference will be crucial for their NCAA tournament candidacy.
