No. 1 North Carolina and No. 16 Wagner lock horns in the first round of the 2024 NCAA Tournament on Thursday at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.

After missing the NCAA Tournament last year, the Tar Heels are back in a big way, securing the top seed in the West Regional. They want to continue their March Madness run against the Seahawks, who survived a closely fought First Four encounter against Howard.

RJ Davis leads the Tar Heels' offense with 21.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.2 steals. The frontcourt duo of Armando Bacot and Harrison Ingram provide additional firepower, with Bacot producing a double-double of 14.1 ppg and 10.2 rpg. Ingram completes the Tar Heels' Twin Tower combo with averages of 12.1 points and 9.0 rebounds per contest.

Meanwhile, Melvin Council Jr spearheads the Seahawks' attack with 14.8 ppg, 5.7 rpg and 3.5 apg. Tahron Allen is the other player averaging in double figures, with 10.7 ppg, 5.1 rpg and 1.0 apg.
