Villanova vs. North Carolina, Saturday, 8:47 p.m.: First one to 100 points wins? This matchup of fast-tempo teams will certainly have aesthetic appeal.

The Tar Heels will have a size advantage inside with Tyler Hansbrough and the Ed Davis, but Villanova was able to neutralize size with speed all season. (New York Times)
