The North Carolina Tar Heels are heading to New Orleans and the Final Four!
Hubert Davis and his team officially punched their ticket to next weekend’s event and a matchup with Duke after beating Saint Peters 69-49 Sunday afternoon to win the East Region. UNC will join Duke, Villanova and Kansas as the four teams left fighting for a title, something that Tar Heels fans would have never believed back in January.
But here they are.
UNC is playing their best basketball of the season, beating Marquette, Baylor, UCLA and now Saint Peters in the past two weeks to advance and they have their sights set on a seventh national championship. Before we get into the matchups and what UNC needs to do next weekend, we wanted to soak this win up a little more.
In Hubert Davis’ first year, UNC has made the Final Four and are looking to go a bit further with just two games left. Let’s see how former and current players reacted to the win on Sunday in Philadelphia.
