UNC Basketball: Tar Heels continue to rise in ESPN Power Rankings

After winning 12 of its last 13 games, the North Carolina basketball program has climbed to No. 4 in the latest edition of ESPN Power Rankings released on Monday.

Despite being second in the Associated Press Top 25, Virginia sits alone atop the power rankings as we begin college basketball’s final week of regular season play. The Cavaliers are 26-2, and just two wins away from earning at least a share of their second straight ACC regular season title, and fourth in the last six years.

Gonzaga comes in at No. 2 this week after finishing its regular season slate last week.
