How social media reacted to UNC's NCAA Tournament loss to Ole Miss
How social media reacted to UNC's NCAA Tournament loss to Ole Miss Check out how social media viewed the UNC-Ole Miss game Friday.
The North Carolina Tar Heels entered Friday's NCAA Tournament matchup against Ole Miss with plenty of momentum, thanks to a massive stomping of San Diego State in Tuesday's First Four matchup.
When the final buzzer sounded from inside the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wis., UNC's season came to a crashing halt with a 71-64 defeat.
North Carolina (23-14, 13-7 ACC) dug itself in too deep a hole it never climbed out of, trailing Ole Miss (23-11, 10-8 SEC) by 18 points at halftime and 22 in the second half. The Tar Heels staged another second-half comeback, just like they did plenty in the regular season, but failed to take advantage of the Rebels going scoreless for six minutes.
That late cold stretch didn't matter for Ole Miss, which started Friday's Round of 64 clash on an 11-2 run. Dre Davis scored the Rebels' first five points, later finishing with 15. Sean Pedulla shot 50 percent from the field, including a 2-of-4 mark on 3-pointers, later ending his night with a game-high 20 points. Malik Dia only played 18 minutes, but bullied UNC center Ven-Allen Lubin during the first half.
North Carolina shot just 38.1 percent from the field against the Rebels, highlighted by a 5-of-24 mark from the perimeter. RJ Davis (15 points) and Lubin (14) were the only two Tar Heels to finish in double-figures, while Drake Powell was the only Tar Heel to make multiple threes.
Let's take a look at social media and see reactions after Friday's game, which ended in utter disappointment for UNC after a tumultuous year.

Last year's tournament field did not have a player ranked among the world's top 20 for the first time in its six-year history, with Cameron Young the top player at No. 23. (Dustin Johnson at the 2019 Rocket was ranked No. 2 in the world, the highest-ranked golfer to ever play the tournament. He missed the cut.) Morikawa, the top-ranked player in this year's field, lost in heartbreaking fashion in his only appearance in Detroit in 2023 to Rickie Fowler in a three-man playoff.

Also in this year's field is NCAA Division 1 individual champion Michael La Sasso, an Ole Miss junior. More commitments will take place up until a week before the tournament, when the 150-plus-man field begins to finalize, including the winner of The John Shippen on June 21-22 at Detroit Golf Club. Sixteen Black golfers will compete over 36 holes for one spot into the Rocket Classic.

Right after this year's tournament, Detroit Golf Club will undergo a $16 million renovation under the direction of architect Tyler Rae. More than 100 trees will be removed, native grasses and ditches will be added, greens will be moved and enlarged and bunkers will be added. The changes, the first major transformation of the club's North Course since it opened more than a century ago, will be revealed at the 2026 Rocket Classic.
