All eyes are on the UNC-Duke matchup this Saturday in Chapel Hill. The North Carolina Tar Heels are looking for payback for a loss in early February in Durham.
More importantly, UNC needs a win to help its NCAA Tournament resume as the regular season concludes.
Going into the week, North Carolina was on the wrong side of the bubble before beating Florida State. The win didn’t do much. The Tar Heels are still on the wrong side going into this Duke game, but the consensus is that they are team No. 69 or No. 70 in most mocks right now.
A win over Duke would go a long way toward getting UNC in the tournament for a few days. They probably still need to win a game in the ACC Tournament, and they want to avoid having to win it all in Greensboro to make the tournament.
With the game just a day away, let’s take a look at where UNC stands in the updated mock brackets going into the matchup with Duke.
