If this game were last season, Hawaii would have a really good chance. The Heels were shaky and Hawaii was very talented. However, the Warriors lost 10 players from the team that beat Cal as a 13 seed last season.

Final Score: 92-70 UNC over Hawaii. Roy keeps comparing this team to the one that won it all in 2009. That team lost in the Final Four the year before and came out hungry. That team had a good mix of upper and lower classmen as well. The Heels will once again dominate the boards and open their Hawaii vacation up with a W.
