UNC fans are going to hate this one, but deep down, they know it’s true. UNC’s brand name is propped up by favorable treatment and yes, even a hint of downright CHEATING.
The Tar Heels slipped into the NCAA Tournament as the last team selected, leaving out teams much more deserving like West Virginia, Indiana, and Ohio State.
UNC was 1-12 against ‘Quad 1’ opponents this season and even lost to a ‘Quad 3’ team. Meanwhile, West Virginia had 6 ‘Quad 1’ wins and no losses below Quad 2. They beat four Top-25 teams and 3 of those were inside the Top 7 at the time.
