The 2024 NCAA Men’s College Basketball Tournament kicks off Thursday, and North Carolina begins its campaign to win its first national championship since 2017.

Hubert Davis’ side finished first in ACC play this season, but the Tar Heels suffered an upset loss to the NC State Wolfpack in the conference tournament. Despite that, UNC earned the No. 1 seed in the West Region and will take on No. 16 Wagner at Spectrum Center.
