The other three opening matchups — all eight teams will play three games apiece regardless of their outcomes across the three days of action at the Lahaina Civic Center — are UConn versus Memphis, Michigan State versus Colorado, and Auburn versus Iowa State.
Rothstein did not specify which of those contests is on the Tar Heels' side of the bracket. However, the order in which he listed all of the outings suggests UNC will face either Auburn or Iowa State on the second day. He noted that an "official announcement is expected soon."
