Where UNC basketball lands in first bracketology of regular season

Bracketology already? Yep, with the start of the college basketball regular season, ESPN’s Joe Lunardi released his bracketology.

The analyst put out a new bracketology following Monday’s games and there have been a few changes. The most notable was Michigan State falling off the No. 1-seed line after its shocking loss at home to James Madison.

For North Carolina, there was no movement. The Tar Heels are a No. 5 seed in the South Region facing No. 12 Liberty in the bracket. Also in that region are No. 1 Kansas, No. 2 Creighton, No. 3 Gonzaga and No. 4 Texas A&M.

Now, let me remind you again. It’s only the first week of the season and this will change A LOT between now and March. But it is fun to see what a national analyst thinks of the Tar Heels this early.
