Palm: Loss knocks UNC off top line

North Carolina fell at Louisville 71-65 on Monday night, ending its 12-game winning streak.

It was enough to knock the Tar Heels back off the top line of the bracket. Kansas moves back up to a No. 1 seed in their place.

UNC is suffering for a lack of higher quality wins. At this point, Maryland is the only top 25 team the Tar Heels have beaten, while the other competitors for the top spot have more and/or better wins. North Carolina only has three losses, and that's a plus, but one of those is Northern Iowa, and while Tar Heel fans would like that to be ignored or excused, it still counts.
