The Tar Heels Are Cemented In March Madness History
The North Carolina Tar Heels have appeared in 12 national title games, and reached 21 NCAA Tournament Final Fours — currently a record. They also have the most all-time victories in March Madness history with 130.
But those aren't the only feathers in their cap. UNC is also the school where NBA stars like Michael Jordan, Vince Carter, Jerry Stackhouse, and even James Worthy made a name for themselves in college basketball.

Did UNC Make March Madness in 2022?
Yes. North Carolina carried on their winning streak by making it all the way to the National Championship in 2022. Unfortunately, they lost their chance of winning it all to the #1 Midwest seed, Kansas.
The Last Time UNC Won March Madness
North Carolina last won the National Title in 2017. They defeated Gonzaga 71-65 and secured yet another championship for hall-of-fame coach Roy Williams. Joel Berry II contributed 22 points in the win and solidified his UNC basketball legacy.
The Last Time UNC Didn’t Make the NCAA Tournament
The last time UNC didn’t make it past Selection Sunday was during the 2009-10 season. It doesn’t happen all that often though — that was the first time they’ve missed March Madness since 2002-03. Sadly, the way the team is performing, this year could be the next.
How Many Times Has UNC Won March Madness?
North Carolina has won the National Championship a total of 6 times. They won in 1957, 1982, 1993, 2005, 2009, and most recently in 2017. That puts them third overall behind UCLA and Kentucky. If they win again this year, they’ll still be one win behind Kentucky’s 8 titles.
