Breaking Down the Final Four Matchups

Posted Mar 30, 2009
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. But this will clearly be Villanova’s toughest test of the tournament, as UNC can match the Wildcats’ depth and athleticism. 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)
