Key Players

Davidson: G Jack Gibbs

The Senior guard is living up to preseason expectations surrounding him. He leads the team in scoring and assists. He has also been a rock from the free-throw line, hitting 43 of his 50 free throw attempts this season. With Joel Berry II either out, Gibbs will find it a lot easier going up against his replacement.

North Carolina: G Kenny Williams

The sophomore guard had his coming out party on Sunday against Radford. He set career highs in points and three-pointers made, and that was just in the first five minutes of the game. He finished the game with 19 points on 7-of-10 shooting, including 5-of-6 from behind the arc.

Kenny Williams becoming a consistent deep threat is one of the few final components the Tar Heels to challenge for a national championship.
