The North Carolina Tar Heels have had a tremendous “comeback” season this year just like they do every year. As always, they started out as an average team with no much high hopes. The average play of the team, along with the Round of 16 loss in last year’s March Madness tournament, also boosted the prediction that the Tar Heels were going follow the same path as last year and lose early. North Carolina, however, played like they have every year and gradually got better and better over the season.
The Tar Heels have been undefeated since their season record at 12-4 after their loss to Louisville. The Tar Heels are playing extremely well right now as they beat Duke both times this season and other main contenders for the championship. With star players like Colby White and Luke Maye leading them to many victories, the team looks as if they are going to dominate in the NCAA Tournament this March. Right now, the Tar Heels are ranked third in the nation under Virginia and Gonzaga. As Gonzaga lost to an unranked team in the West Coast Tournament, their ranking is expected to drop.
Teams that are expected to do really well in the tournament are Virginia, Gonzaga, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Duke. As there are more rising teams in the league this year, everyone should expect this tournament to be fun one.
