Inconsistency has plagued the Tar Heels, from their poor start to the season to their recent string of losses. Duke ended sixth-seeded UNC's 12 game winning streak in the regular-season finale on March 8. The Tar Heels, unable to bounce back from the loss, made an early exit in the quarterfinals of last week's ACC Tournament against Pittsburgh.
Tar Heels coach Roy Williams, however, insists his players aren't to blame.
"It's been a marvelous group. If it hadn't been for my team, I would've jumped off the top of the building," Williams told the Associated Press. "My team is the one that was the savior throughout the whole season, and since the off-season. It's been a tough time around Chapel Hill."
Forward James Michael McAdoo acknowledged his team has played inconsistently but hopes they can turn it around beginning on Friday.
"Now? I would hope not, at a point where it's win or go home," he said. "But obviously it's true by looking at our record earlier in the season."
Providence, meanwhile, is making their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 10 years. They earned the No. 11 seed by upsetting Creighton in the Big East tournament final, 65-58.
"As I sit here today," Providence coach Ed Cooley said, "I'm enjoying this more than you know."
