Bracket Projection: North Carolina

The 2016 ACC regular-season and tournament champion North Carolina Tar Heels are one of the nation's truly elite teams. All five starters average in double figures, the team's transition game is a sight to behold, they look like an NBA team when they get off the bus with two 6-foot-10 starters (All-American forward Brice Johnson and vastly improved Kennedy Meeks), and they have plenty of size off the pine. The only question mark: Can Roy Williams's often-wayward perimeter shooters drain enough shots from behind the 3-point line for this team to realize its Final Four potential?

ESPN Insider has your answers, as Joe Lunardi has enlisted a team of Bracketologists to compile advanced metrics, key scouting intel and best- and worst-case tournament scenarios for all 68 teams to help you make smart picks in your bracket.
