The men’s NCAA tournament field was revealed Sunday night, with 68 teams getting their names called to join the beauty that is March Madness, which kicks off this week and concludes with the Final Four in Houston the first weekend of April.
One storied program that didn’t get its name called was the North Carolina Tar Heels. Hubert Davis’s team, which played in the national championship game just a year ago, was one of the last four teams left out of the tournament.
That wasn’t a huge shocker because the Tar Heels didn’t have a great season - they finished the year with a 20-13 record and lost to Virginia, 68-59, in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament.
