No. 1 North Carolina and No. 16 Wagner lock horns in the first round of the 2024 NCAA Tournament on Thursday at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.
After missing the NCAA Tournament last year, the Tar Heels are back in a big way, securing the top seed in the West Regional. They want to continue their March Madness run against the Seahawks, who survived a closely fought First Four encounter against Howard.
North Carolina is coming off a tough loss to North Carolina State in the ACC Tournament final. It will seek to right the ship in the first round by beating an upstart Wagner team looking to prove that they deserve the nod of the selection committee over other teams with a better team standing.
