NCAA Tournament: UNC bold predictions for the Sweet 16

North Carolina uses Arkansas scare to roll the Butler Bulldogs.

This has nothing to do with Butler.

Butler is a fine team, and perhaps may be one of the most slept on teams in the Sweet 16.

The Bulldogs boast two wins over the Villanova Wildcats, a win over Arizona (without Allonzo Trier), and a pair of wins over Sweet 16 team Xavier.

But Tar Heel fans are hoping that the team can turn the Arkansas scare into a big win over Butler.

Butler is exactly how you would imagine their team to be. They play clean, mistake free basketball. They rank 10th in the country in turnover percentage, and they play at their own pace, ranking 289th in tempo.

But do not think Virginia when you see Butler. This team can put up some points. They consistently score 70+ points, while ranking 21st in offensive efficiency. But as stated before, this is not about Butler.

Carolina has played their best basketball in spurts as of late. The first half against Arkansas was incredible, the first half against Duke was great, and before Duke, one could argue this Heels team was consistently playing at the top of its game.

I expect a different UNC team to show up Friday night, showing us a full forty minutes of their best basketball. They will have to play it to beat Butler.
