UNC basketball moves up again in ESPN Bracketology

The North Carolina Tar Heels got this week off to a good start this week with another double-digit win over Wake Forest on Monday night. UNC passed another test, winning their ninth straight game.

And with that result, th::ey also moved up in Joe Lunardi’s latest Bracketology.

Lunardi released his updated Bracketology on Tuesday morning, moving North Carolina from the No. 4 overall team to the No. 3 team on the one seed line. This update comes just a few days after his latest on Sunday, taking into account the weekend games as well as Monday’s games in college basketball.

North Carolina is listed as the No. 1 seed in the South Region (Dallas) and would square off against the winner of Jackson State and Central Connecticut which is a play-in game. Seton Hall and Nebraska would be the 8/9 matchup in that region.

As for the Atlantic Coast Conference, there are just three teams in the field with Duke as a No. 4 seed and Clemson as a No. 7 seed. Wake Forest is the only other ACC team on the bubble, sitting as the first four out.
