North Carolina is the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament West Region a year after being left out of the bracket.
The fourth-ranked Tar Heels will open March Madness just down the road in Charlotte on Thursday against the First Four winner between Howard and Wagner.
The West Region also includes Arizona, Alabama, Baylor and Michigan State.
North Carolina found itself in a rare position in coach Hubert Davis' second season a year ago, going from preseason No. 1 to watching the NCAA Tournament from home.
