The college basketball season officially got underway last week, and the march to, well, March is on. Last Friday, the North Carolina men took part in one of the biggest games of the season so far when they went to Allen Fieldhouse and played a classic against Kansas. While the Heels took the loss, it was a pretty solid performance, featuring a big comeback after a bad first half. Meanwhile, the UNC women got off to a good start themselves, and they sit at 2-0 through last week.
With the season underway and Carolina football unlikely to crack the rankings again this season, it’s time to focus our AP Top 25 posts on basketball, as we check in on where things stand with the first week of 2024-25 in the books.
