Between now and April, college basketball fans will be glued to their televisions. Starting Thursday afternoon, 64 teams will begin their quest to glory in the NCAA Tournament. UNC, despite the numerous injuries it faced through its 2025-26 season, earned the South Region's 6-seed .
North Carolina (24-8, 12-6 ACC) will host 11-seed VCU, which won the Atlantic 10, at 6:50 p. m. ET on Thursday in Greenville, S.
C. The Tar Heels will be playing in their second-straight NCAA Tournament, after making the Round of 64 in 2025, thanks to a First Four win over San Diego State . Despite all the flack Hubert Davis catches as UNC's head coach, this is his fourth Big Dance appearance in five seasons.
North Carolina will rely heavily on 7-foot center Henri Veesaar to win games, as Caleb Wilson is no longer an option. Seth Trimble needs to continuing playing his best basketball, while Derek Dixon has to keep scoring in double-figures. Luka Bogavac has to find his groove – and keep it.
