North Carolina crushes San Diego State in First Four: Reactions

Coming into the First Four, questions persisted about whether North Carolina men’s basketball deserved a spot in the men’s NCAA Tournament.

That question was soundly answered by a hungry Tar Heel squad that won 95-68 over San Diego State on Tuesday in the First Four at UD Arena in Dayton, Ohio. UNC won the 11-seed in the play-in matchup and earned a date with No. 6 seed Ole Miss in the first round.

On Sunday, the decision to include UNC in the NCAA Tournament was met with anger and confusion from around the college basketball world. Tar Heels’ fans hit back on social media with their reactions to a dominant win.

Former UNC player Ty Lawson was among those on social media calling out critics of North Carolina following the dominant performance.
