North Carolina had already lost more games than any other AP preseason No. 1 team ever has.
A 68-59 loss to Virginia in the second round of the ACC tournament on Thursday night likely extinguished North Carolina’s hopes of earning an at-large NCAA tournament bid. The Tar Heels have run out of chances to improve a resume that doesn’t compare well to other bubble teams.
While North Carolina did beat Michigan and Ohio State in non-conference play, those victories looked more helpful in December than they do now. The Wolverines are likely on the wrong side of the NCAA tournament bubble and the Buckeyes finished second-to-last in the Big Ten. While ballyhooed college basketball teams underachieve every season, North Carolina is easily the most disappointing preseason No. 1 team in men's college basketball’s modern era.
