The North Carolina Tar Heels have made 21 Final Four appearances in school history, last making it in 2022. This year’s team is looking for another trip to the Final Four, and they seem poised to do so.

UNC is led by RJ Davis, who is averaging 21.5 points per game this season. Armando Bacot is the team’s second-leading scorer, averaging 14 points per game. Bacot also leads the team in rebounding, hauling in over 10 boards per game.

The Tar Heels have odds of +425 to make the Final Four on DraftKings. Only five teams in the country have better odds than North Carolina to reach the Final Four. Teams ahead of UNC include UConn (+110), Houston (+150), Purdue (+170), Tennessee (+250), and Arizona (+250). When it comes to the national championship, the Tar Heels have odds of +2000 on DraftKings.

When betting on March Madness, keep in mind that odds can vary from sportsbook to sportsbook. For example, North Carolina has odds of +2000 to win the national championship on DraftKings. But, their odds are a bit longer on FanDuel, where they are +2300.

In addition, odds are subject to change based on a number of factors, but are mostly influenced by injuries and team performance.
