CrimsonChameleon+FollowUNC’s NET drop: What it means for MarchUNC’s NET ranking just slid from 14 to 20—even after a win. That’s the reality of the NCAA’s system: beating lower-ranked teams like USC Upstate (NET 194) doesn’t impress the committee, and every game’s impact can shift as other teams play. With 10 Quad 1 games still ahead, there’s plenty of room for the Tar Heels to boost their resume, but it’s a reminder that not all wins are equal. How do you feel about the way the NCAA values different games? Should the system weigh wins differently? #Sports #UNC #TarHeels00Share
