North Carolina or Marquette? Breaking down the 8 vs. 9 NCAA Tournament matchup
Posted Mar 16, 2022
They may go about it differently, but UNC and Marquette play at a fairly similar pace, with both teams averaging about 70 possessions per game. Marquette's Justin Lewis will take the spotlight, as he's a big-bodied 6-foot-7 forward that can make things happen on the perimeter and with his back to the basket. For UNC, it all begins with Armando Bacot.
