The chances of the NCAA Northern NCAA tournament could be summed up in the final of the season of Saturday against her rival Duke In the dean of the dean. Despite consecutive victories, the Tar Heels are still on the bubble before this weekend.
They are playing some of their best basketballs of the season right now and are fighting for a double-ya at ACC tournament. A victory over Duke probably gets them in the tournament, but if they lose, they will have to run a deep race in the ACA tournament to have a blow.
Before Saturday’s revenge match, ESPN analyst Jay Bilas broke down the North Carolina situation:
“Six consecutive victories, with an average of 91 points per match and they draw much more than 40% out of three during this period, making more than 10 three. It is a different team from North Carolina that I think Duke faced in the first game. And North Carolina plays for their lives. They are on the bubble at the moment. I think they have a CV that compares themselves favorably to other bubble teams. But you get a victory against Duke at your home, which could get it, ” Bilas explained.
North Carolina has played much better lately, but the blatant brand of their curriculum vitae is the 1-10 record in the Quad 1 matches so far. If something will keep them out of the tournament, it will be this brand.
However, Bilas said he thought he had a favorable curriculum vitae compared to other bubble teams. Some simulated supports also believe it. In the end, it comes back to UNC’s ability to win the match on Saturday, then put it in the hands of the tournament committee.
