After seventh-ranked North Carolina’s win at NC State on Tuesday: the victory means the Tar Heels have earned a top-four seed in the ACC tournament, and first-day league tourney bye.

At 11-2 in the conference, the worst UNC now can finish is 11-5. The current fifth-place team in the league, NC State, already has six losses.

The top four seeds in the tournament, which begins March 8 in Atlanta, don’t have to play until Friday, March 9.
