Picks: Villanova-Kansas, Gonzaga-UNC Highlight Weekend's Marquee Matchups

Posted Dec 15, 2018
The game of the weekend takes place in Chapel Hill, which is a pretty great setting for a game of the weekend. This is a big game for the Tar Heels, given that, to this point of the season, they haven’t really flashed the Final Four contender chops most thought they had entering the year. They lost to Texas on a neutral floor and got trounced by Michigan in Ann Arbor. (Sports Illustrated)
