North Carolina enters the regular season finale at Duke with the chance to win the Atlantic Coast Conference regular season title outright with a win over their rival. A loss to Duke means they split it and puts UNC likely as the No. 2 seed in the upcoming ACC Tournament.
That ACC Tournament could be a big factor in North Carolina’s seeding as well.
With Selection Sunday under two weeks away, North Carolina has to continue to build its resume to not only challenge for a No. 1 seed but hold their current seed. And that seed is a No. 2 seed after beating Notre Dame.
ESPN’s Joe Lunardi updated his Bracketology on Wednesday following Tuesday’s games and he has UNC as a No. 2 seed and the No. 6 team overall:

With Tennessee’s win on Wednesday over South Carolina, they have pushed ahead of Arizona for the final No. 1 seed. The Wildcats and Tar Heels are now chasing the Volunteers in this final week.
For UNC it’s simple, just keep winning.
