The opponent for North Carolina will be the 13th-seeded Harvard Crimson, who are in their fourth consecutive tournament and the reigning Ivy League champions.
While North Carolina is heavily favored, the Crimson won’t go down without a fight.
Harvard coach Tommy Amaker, who has plenty of experience against the Tar Heels from his time with the Duke Blue Devils, believes his team’s confidence will help them in their effort to upend UNC.
“I think each year can certainly stand on its own merit, but there’s nothing that can replace, in my opinion, a confidence factor of having done it before,” Amaker said, via ESPN.com.”I think that’s obvious, and we certainly have that, and we’re proud of that.
“That’s not going to necessarily help us rebound the ball against Carolina, but I do think the fact that our kids, we have a veteran team, many of our players have had experience in the tournament, have had success and experience in the tournament. We’re hopeful to draw on that.”

Harvard is looking to become the 1st school to win tourney games in 3 straight years while seeded 12th or worse. They trail UNC by 16.#Elias
