UNC vs Villanova

The National Championship game will have number one seed North Carolina Tarheels take on number two seed Villanova Wildcats.The Wildcats had there way on Saturday when they beat Oklahoma 95-51. The Tarheels had a bumpy first have but a much better second half when they beat Syracuse 83-66. The Wildcats had a big night behind the three point line when they shot 11-18. They were led by junior forward Kris Jenkins behind the three point line who went 4-7 and finished the night with 18 points.The Heels on the other hand dominated in the second half inside with there duo of senior forward Bryce Johnson and sophomore Justin Jackson both finishing with 16 points. Villanova needs to stop Johnson and Jackson inside of they want a chance to win a National Championship for the first time since 1985. While the Heels have to stop the Wildcats three points shots to win there first National Championship since 2009 when they had Tyler Hansbough, Danny Green,Ty Lawson, and Bobby Frasor. 11 years ago today North Carolina won there first National Championship under Coach Roy Williamswheb the Heels had Sean May, Raymond Felton, Wes Miller, and Marvin Williams. The Heels beat Illinios that year 75-70. I think it's going to be a close game but I think the Tarheels will win because the Wildcats don't have enough Depth inside to keep up with the Heels big guys.

Final Four UNC vs. Syracuse

The last number one seed University of North Carolina Tarheels will take on one of their ACC foe number ten seed Syracuse Orange. The Orange are the first number ten seed to make it to a Final Four game in tournament history. The Cuse had a bumpy season not knowing if they were going to even make the tournament. The Tarheels has beat the Orange twice already this season, with two close games. Marcus Paige and Bryce Johnson for the Heels need to have a big game and Johnson has to stay out of foul trouble early in the game. Michael Gbinije for the Orange is their leading scorer for the year and has to stay out of foul trouble and stop Johnson in the paint. It's hard for a team to beat a team three times in one season. The real question is will the Heels beat the Orange to make it to the Championship game?
