The last at-large team in the NCAA field, UNC couldn’t replicate its wire-to-wire spirited play from its First-Four win. The 11th-seeded Tar Heels fell behind early to No. 6 Ole Miss and never fully recovered.

Chris Beard and the No. 6 seeded Ole Miss Rebels took down the North Carolina Tar Heels on Friday evening in a critical 71-64 NCAA Tournament victory. Sam Pedulla's clutch gene was on full display in the final minute after knocking down a much-needed basket down the stretch to propel the Rebels over the Tar Heels to capture a First Round NCAA Tournament win.
