UNC's NCAA Bid Sparks Controversy Amid Poor Record
The inclusion of North Carolina (UNC) in the 2025 NCAA men's basketball tournament has sparked controversy due to its underwhelming season performance, particularly its 1-12 record against Quad 1 teams. UNC was the last team selected for the tournament, a decision influenced by UAB's loss to Memphis, which opened up a spot according to the NCAA selection committee. The committee's decision has raised questions of bias, as UNC's athletic director, Bubba Cunningham, chairs the committee, although he recused himself from discussions about UNC. Critics argue that teams like Indiana and Boise State, with better Quad 1 records, were unfairly excluded. Despite the controversy, UNC will face San Diego State in a First Four matchup. Meanwhile, in women's basketball, UNC received a No. 3 seed, and NC State earned a No. 2 seed, highlighting their strong performances this season.
