- ESPN analyst believes UNC win doesn't justify them in tournament still
The North Carolina Tar Heels were able to make a statement on Tuesday night in their First Four win over San Diego State in Dayton. UNC stomped the Aztecs behind a hot-shooting first half and continued that into the second half en route to the 98-65 blowout win .
The win was much-neeeded for North Carolina as they were able to quiet some of the doubters who said they don't belong in the tournament. While the majority gave UNC their props, at least on analyst was doubling down on the criticism.

While appearing on ESPN's "Get Up" on Wednesday morning, Seth Greenberg had this to say about the Tar Heels win.
"It doesn't justify that they got into the tournament. It says that once they got into the tournament, they put their arms around it and embraced it," Greenberg said. "Here's the thing. Your resume is your resume. Your resume gets you into the tournament. Once you're in the tournament, quad 1 wins mean absolutely nothing, it's all about matchups. They played a San Diego State team that struggled offensively, they were terrific defensively and the ball had energy. This Carolina team is talented."
Greenberg went on to say that UNC's roster is good. However, it was their resume that says they were not deserving of making the tournament.
It wasn't all negative from Greenberg as he congratulated Hubert Davis and the Tar Heels for getting ready to play and take advantage of the opportunity.
