UNC did everything it could to improve its resume, but it must roll with what it has and hope it was enough. As we sit here on Selection Sunday, let's take a look at where UNC stands in mock brackets.
Joe Lunardi (ESPN)
After losing to Duke, Lunardi moved UNC to the first four out line, which is where they stand on Selection Sunday. He does not believe UNC will get in.
Jerry Palm (CBS Sports)
While others had UNC in the field after ACC Tournament wins over Notre Dame and Wake Forest, CBS Sports' Jerry Palm still had them on the outside looking in. Right now, Palm has UNC as a first four out team behind Xavier and Texas.

Following a similar path as the previous two brackets, the USA TODAY Sports trio of Paul Myerberg, Erick Smith and Eddie Timanus have the Tar Heels in their first four out section. They are behind Boise State and Xavier while Vanderbilt, Indiana, San Diego State and Texas are all in.
On3
Unlike the previous three, the latest mock bracket from On3 has the Tar Heels IN the field, which is a little surprising. They are one of the last four in teams for the field along with West Virginia, San Diego State and Texas.
YAGO Brackets
