UNC Basketball: Five bold predictions for the 2018 postseason

Joel Berry averages 25 points per game while leading UNC back to third straight Final Four.

What a career Joel Berry has had.

He’s been to two Final Fours thus far, won an MOP of a National Championship and is a Bob Cousy award finalist.

What’s left to do for Berry? Do it again. And do it even bigger this time.

There is no better player on the big stage than Berry. Every time the lights are bright, Berry’s star is at its brightest. We have seen it in the last two Final Fours and even last year when he won an MOP on two bum ankles.

This year he seems to be healthy and while he is coming off of a rough game at Duke, Berry is ready to go for the postseason.

Even in the first round game, where the Tar Heels will experience a near upset, Berry drops 27 points. Following that, Berry continues to be hot and carries the Tar Heels back to the Final Four.

He will win the regional MOP, but the most amazing part is that Berry will average a whopping 25 points per game.

If the Tar Heels get a two seed, there is a good chance that they will have a tough bracket because they could be the top two seed. That means they could draw Kansas, maybe West Virginia, or Villanova again.

All of those teams possess point guards that can match up with Berry, but it won’t matter. Berry is not ending his career before the Final Four this year and it will be on his back that the team makes it back.
