Hoyas have a chance, but look for UNC to win

Posted Mar 25, 2007

UNC no longer has a Michael Jordan to hit the game-winning jumper or a Fred Brown to throw away the ball in the final seconds, the two plays that clinched the Tar Heels’ national title against Georgetown in 1982. But they do have a team that looks as good as any, and if Georgetown center Roy Hibbert gets in foul trouble, this could be a rout. And if the Hoyas can control tempo, they have an excellent chance.
