North Carolina Tar Heels vs. Auburn Tigers Prediction: NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 Preview

Posted Mar 28, 2019
North Carolina is a team built for another national championship run. Auburn has had an incredible run in winning the SEC Tournament and getting to the Sweet 16. But the Tigers rely too much on perimeter shooting to get the job done. The Tar Heels have too much size, length, and speed to contain for 40 minutes. Prediction: North Carolina 80, Auburn 71 (Athlon Sports)
