Dick Vitale has been keeping an eye on North Carolina as it looks to position itself for an NCAA Tournament bid.
The Tar Heels took another step in that direction on Thursday with a win over Wake Forest in the ACC Tournament, claiming an 8th win in 9 games. Their only loss in that span has been to Duke: those two will face each other in the conference semifinals on Friday.
Per ESPN’s Joe Lunardi, the Tar Heels are in the Last Four In column, and a victory over the Blue Devils should seal a spot in the field. Their late-season run has impressed Vitale:
Yes @UNC_Basketball will be part of @MarchMadnessMBB as they won 8 of their last 9 . Yes I know they were not Quad 1 wins but they beat legit D-1 power conference teams from @ACC Hubert Davis never gave up on his team when struggled & motivated them to finish strong .@stkirsch

Hubert Davis led North Carolina to a Sweet 16 in 2024 after the Tar Heels missed the field altogether in 2023 — a year after they advanced to the national championship game.
It hasn’t been the easiest of seasons for the Tar Heels, but they look to be peaking at the right time, positioning themselves for an at-large bid in the field of 68.
