- Wagner has a serious depth problem, running a seven-man rotation, which will not work well against a team as talented as North Carolina.
- Wagner had three guards play all 40 minutes against Howard in the First Four, which should mean tired legs on a quick turnaround in this one.
The Wagner Seahawks will face off with the North Carolina Tar Heels on March 21, 2024 at 2:45 pm ET. The opening betting odds from DraftKings Sportsbook have the North Carolina Tar Heels as 24.5 point favorites, while Wagner looks to become just the third 16-seed to ever beat a 1-seed in the NCAA Tournament.

While Wagner won in the First Four, they will not win or cover the spread in Thursday’s Wagner vs North Carolina matchup. The Tar Heels will take advantage of the extreme lack of depth that the Seahawks are dealing with, as Wagner is running with just seven players right now. That will cause major problems, as foul trouble was a concern against Howard and will be an even bigger concern against a team with the weapons of the Tar Heels.
