After dispatching Wagner and Michigan State last weekend, the North Carolina Tar Heels have officially booked a spot in this coming weekend’s Sweet 16. Starting on Thursday, they will compete to be the West Region champions and book a spot in the Final Four, which would be the 22nd in program’s history should they pull it off.
However, they’ll deal with some stiff competition in Los Angeles, as only a just-short comeback from Baylor prevented the West from having all chalk left. Ahead of this weekend’s action, let’s look back at what the remaining teams did to get to the Sweet 16 and how they might matchup against UNC.
