Four and a half months of college basketball has led to this: 64 teams remaining to battle it out and determine the NCAA national champion. It’s a feeling familiar to Tar Heels and their fans, as they currently have one of the longest active tournament streaks in the country at eleven, and since the field has expanded the Tar Heels have only missed the NCAA’s four times.
Some tournament runs begin with more hope of an extended stay than others, though, and this year definitely comes with the feeling that the Tar Heels could be out at any moment.
