NCAA 2nd Round Preview: #8 UNC vs #9 Villanova

Posted Mar 22, 2013
UNC and Villanova essentially start the same type of lineup with the Wildcats projecting slightly more size at the four and five positions. They also have the reputation of being a physical team and lead the nation in free throws as a percentage of their offense. Outside of that, on paper this is a team that does not shoot the ball well, ranking 257th in 2-point FG% and only hitting 33.7% of their threes. (Tar Heel Blog)
