The last at-large team in the NCAA field, UNC couldn’t replicate its wire-to-wire spirited play from its First-Four win. The 11th-seeded Tar Heels fell behind early to No. 6 Ole Miss and never fully recovered.

UNC basketball was the last team in the 2025 NCAA Tournament field. After the Selection Show, a member of the selection committee explained why.

Tonight @UNC_Basketball became the first team in NCAA Tournament history to: score 95 or more points shoot 50% or better from the field shoot 50% or better from three (min. 20 3PA) shoot 85% or better from the line (min. 20 FTA) ...all in the same game. pic.twitter.com/5ymme3KfGu
