Good UNC vs. Bad UNC

The last matchup is North Carolina against themselves. UNC Basketball has been inconsistent this season, to say the least, but we are coming off of a semi-final run in the ACC Tournament. UNC has looked like two completely different teams when they are clicking, but as we saw earlier they can just as easily fall apart and lose to a bad Marquette team.

But there is a bright side, Wisconsin has had a similar season. With high expectations early on, the Badgers were 8-1 at the beginning of the season and were ranked as high as 6th in the country. They sputtered at the end of the season finishing 17-12.

The Heels never truly hit a skid, instead, they were just off and on throughout the season. But at the end of the regular season into the ACC tournament, the Tar Heels have some serious momentum on their side.

Never count out the hot team in March, the Tar Heel’s have the size and the depth to beat Wisconsin.
