Since the announcement of the NCAA tournament support, the Northern Caroline Tar Heels have captured tons of backlash, because many thought they should have been excluded from the 68 teams that made “dance”.
Maybe these hatefuls have been silenced now.
The Tar Heels demolished the Aztecs of the State of San Diego during their “first four” games on Tuesday evening, 95-68, to win the seeded n ° 11 in the South region. The UNC will go to face 6 in Ole Miss in the first round on Friday.

UNC was the last team to receive a place in the tournament, and they still had to play for their seeded in Dayton, Ohio, against one of the first defenses of university basketball. The Aztecs of head coach Brian Dutcher can suffocate at this end of the ground, but the Tar Heels did not learn this on Tuesday evening.
They broke out in the first half, pulling 60.9% as a team (14-23) and did all their nine at three points. They also went 12 out of 12 from the Stripe de la Charité to leave with 47 points, which were crowned by the three points of RJ Davis while the buzzer sounded for half-time.
The offer of the NCAA tournament of North Caroline leads to the reaction of social media: “How did it even happen?”
Meanwhile, the Aztecs struggled on the offensive to accompany their defensive gaps, pulling only 26.7% in the first half, and in just 4 out of 16 beyond the arc. They finished half with 23 points, and the 24 -point deficit was the one they could not return to.
The second half also followed the UNC, overlapping Aztecs, 48-45, to go to victory.

As a team, the Tar Heels pulled an incredible 52.6% of the field and 58.3% out of three (14-24), while hosting the free throw line with 21 of 24 manufactured.
It was Davis being the top scorer in the match with 26 points on 8 on 12 shots, including a perfect 6-6-6-point 6-6. He also collected two assists.
