Friday, the North Carolina Tar Heels (UNC) will play the Lipscomb Bisons in the NCAA Tournament round one.
Thanks to the Selection Show the Tar Heels get to play 'at home' for their first round game. They are in Charlotte with tip-off after the 12:15pm game.
To help fans out, UNC Coach Roy Williams penned an excused absence letter--sort of-- for fans who miss work to attend the game. Of course we know, Williams didn't really write the letter. It's all part of the March Madness fun! The letter signed by Coach Williams was posted on Facebook.
The current National Basketball champions come into the 2018 dance with 6 championships, 48 NCAA tournament appearances and 20 Final Four appearances.
