UNC enters the tournament with a 24-8 overall record, though Carolina is coming off losses in consecutive games for the first time since January. The Tar Heels will be without the services of leading scorer and rebounder Caleb Wilson, who continues to rehab a fractured right thumb and has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.
Carolina is seeking its first win in the tournament’s main draw since 2024. The Tar Heels reached the NCAA Tournament as the last team in last season and won their play-in game, but were then defeated by No. 6 seed Ole Miss in the Round of 64. UNC has not advanced past the Sweet 16 since reaching the national championship game in 2022.
UNC has played NCAA Tournament games in Greenville’s Bon Secours Wellness Arena before. The Tar Heels journeyed to Greenville for the first and second rounds of the tournament in 2017 as a No. 1 seed, beating No. 16 Texas Southern and No. 8 Arkansas on their way to the national title.
On the women’s side, UNC was revealed as a top 16 national seed and an opening round host Saturday evening. It marks the second consecutive season the Tar Heels will host NCAA Tournament action at Carmichael Arena, which prior to last year had not hosted a postseason game since 2015.

Carolina enters the tournament having won 13 of its last 15 games, with the only two losses coming at Duke and against Louisville in the ACC Tournament. The Blue Devils and Cardinals are both also hosts for the 2026 NCAA Tournament. UNC’s 14 ACC regular-season wins and third-place finish in the conference standings were both program bests in head coach Courtney Banghart’s tenure.
The full bracket for the NCAA Women’s Tournament will be revealed at 8 p.m.
