Sweet 16 Preview and Predictions: Wisconsin vs. North Carolina

Posted Mar 25, 2015
North Carolina will win if...Marcus Paige protects the basketball and makes shots. Wisconsin is known for its defense, but this isn’t one of Ryan’s best defensive teams and Paige is coming off a near perfect showing against Arkansas. He knocked down half of his shots (5-of-10) and posted a sterling 61 assist-to-turnover ratio. The Heels' schizophrenic offense goes as Paige goes. (Athlon Sports)
