One note: Bubba Cunningham was a member of the NCAA selection committee in 2023 when North Carolina was ... one of the first teams left out of the field.
All of the focus is on "Quad 1 records" for the NCAA Tournament.
#UNC is a Quad 1 team on a neutral court.
West Virginia and Indiana aren't. They're Quad 2 on a neutral court.
All the committee did was put a Quad 1 team in the field over a pair of Quad 2's.
I can't wait to fill out my NCAA Tournament bracket in 30 seconds and then spend the next three weeks mentally abusing myself for every pick I get wrong.
Angry "bracketologists" and WVU and Indiana fans should direct their ire towards Xavier, not #UNC.
UNC: No. 36 NET, No. 33 KenPom, No. 42 SOS, 15-1 Quad 2-3
Xavier: No. 45 NET, No. 42 KenPom, No. 58 SOS, 13-2 Quad 2-3
Both had one Quad 1 win.
It is with love and fond memories that we announce Tylee Craft has begun his journey on the other side.
Tylee meant so much to so many and affected us in ways we’ll always be thankful for. He was 1-of-1 and, while he won’t be with us in body, he’ll be watching over us with his endearing smile and endless positivity.
On behalf of his family and our program, we sincerely thank everyone who supported Tylee during his battle with cancer. It means more than you know.
With love and affection, #TyleeStrongForever 🩵
