North Carolina basketball makes NCAA Tournament field as last team in: Social media reacts Show Caption Hide Caption College basketball coaches: Who is overpaid and underpaid? USA Today's Paul Myerberg breaks down NCAA basketball coaches who deserve more money, and others that may not be up to their salary standards. Sports Pulse After days and weeks of wondering whether it would end up on the right side of the men's NCAA Tournament bubble, one of the most historically decorated teams in men's college basketball heard its name called on Selection Sunday. The fact it did, though, has generated some controversy. North Carolina was among the most debated teams heading into the NCAA Tournament selection show, with 22 wins and the pedigree of being one of the sport's blue bloods. REQUIRED READING: Men's March Madness live updates: Selection Sunday bracket predictions, schedule Coach Hubert Davis' team ultimately didn't have to wait long to learn its fate, with the Tar Heels' name showing up on the 68-team bracket in the first region that was revealed on CBS' selection show. North Carolina will head to Dayton, Ohio to take on fellow No. 11 seed San Diego State in the First Four, with the winner advancing to face No. 6 seed Ole Miss in the tournament's first round. It's a silver lining for a North Carolina program that has suffered through a disappointing 2024-25 season. After coming into the season No. 10 in the USA TODAY Sports Coaches Poll after earning a No. 1 seed in the 2024 NCAA Tournament, the Tar Heels limped to a 14-11 start, but caught fire to end the season, winning eight of their final 10 games, with the only two losses coming to No. 1 Duke. Like many bubble teams, though, there were plenty of holes to find on their resume. REQUIRED READING: CBS pays tribute to Greg Gumbel on March Madness Selection Sunday bracket reveal show North Carolina went just 1-12 in Quadrant One games. While it stacked up some wins late in the final month of the season, none of its eight victories since Feb. 15 have come against a team ranked in the top 65 of the NCAA's NET rankings. Adding to whatever anger, frustration and shock there was over North Carolina's making the field is that the chair of the NCAA Tournament selection committee was Tar Heels athletic director Bubba Cunningham. While it could understandably be viewed as a conflict of interest, Cunningham was unable to be in the room while North Carolina was being discussed. This year marks the 19th time the Tar Heels have made the NCAA Tournament the past 21 times the event was held. UNC basketball makes NCAA Tournament: Social media reactions North Carolina went 1-12 in Q1 games this year. They were considered to be on the bubble.

Where Clemson landed in NET rankings ahead of March Madness Selection Sunday
Where Clemson landed in NET rankings ahead of March Madness Selection Sunday Clemson holds a No. 22 NET ranking as they await their NCAA Tournament seeding following a 27-6 overall record and an 18-2 finish in the ACC. The Tigers split their two games in the ACC Tournament, defeating SMU before falling in a 76-73 heartbreaker to Louisville. Clemson nearly erased a 15-point second-half deficit and had a chance to tie or win in the final seconds, but a controversial no-call on Chase Hunter's drive sealed their fate. Against Quad 1 opponents, Clemson finished 5-3, picking up key wins over Kentucky, Duke, Pitt, and SMU. Their losses in this tier came against Boise State and Louisville, with the Cardinals handing them their most recent defeat in the conference tournament. The Tigers compiled an 8-2 record in Quad 2 games, earning victories over North Carolina, Wake Forest, and Virginia. Their two losses in this category came against Memphis and South Carolina. Clemson went 8-1 in Quad 3 matchups, with their only setback coming against Georgia Tech. In Quad 4 play, they finished a perfect 5-0, handling business in lower-tier games. Despite the tough exit in Charlotte, Clemson remains in strong position for a favorable seed in the NCAA Tournament, with a resume that includes multiple high-quality wins and few bad losses.
