The North Carolina Tar Heels season isn’t going the way no one expected, and they could make a nefarious fuss that no one wants to make — or expected them to make.
It was so disappointing that the phrase “March Madness” could start to take on a whole different meaning in Chapel Hill.
Thanks to Sunday’s 77-69 loss to rival North Carolina State, the Tar Heels are down to 16-11 this season and 8-8 in the ACC conference. Even more concerning, they are now 0-9 in Quad 1 games.
Quad 1 matches are defined as “home matches versus top 30 ranked RPI teams; neutral matches versus 1-50; away matches versus 1-75.”
North Carolina has played nine such games this season and lost every one of them.
This is bad news and casts doubt on their NCAA tournament hopes. And that would be an unprecedented failure given where the Tar Heels started the season. North Carolina opened the season as the No. 1 team in the nation, and as college basketball analyst Jeff Goodman points out, no preseason No. 1 team has ever – Never — failed to qualify for the NCAA Tournament.
