Tar Heels headed for N.I.T.
The North Carolina Tar Heels will be playing postseason basketball, but not the kind they had hoped.
The Tar Heels will become one of the only teams to ever miss the NCAA tournament just one season after winning a national championship.
Some Heels fans held out hope that their team might be able to pull off four straight wins and take home the ACC championship.
Instead, the Tar Heels struggled in their first round game and came up short against Georgia Tech.
North Carolina gets a chance to continue the development of its young players in the N.I.T., but fans won’t be lining up for tickets to those games.
