Also, there are teams in the bracket seeded nowhere near their predicative metric rankings. Gonzaga is top 10 in the NET and an 8 seed. Memphis is in the mid-40s in predicative metrics, and the Tigers are a 5 seed. So, obviously, they don't always carry the day.

North Carolina was awarded a spot in the NCAA Tournament’s First Four as a No. 11 seed after compiling a 22-13 record, having won eight of its last 10 games coming into March Madness. However, the Tar Heels’ entry in the tournament wasn’t without controversey.

North Carolina will have a very stressful 40 or so hours as they await their NCAA Tournament fate. With the chance to really put a stamp on their resume and leave little doubt, the Tar Heels fell short against Duke due to a late-game blunder.
