Posted Mar 20, 2016
North Carolina defeated a tough Providence team filled with NBA talent and made it look easy. National Player of the Year candidate Brice Johnson is averaging 19.5 points in the tournament and has been an absolute difference maker on defense. With Johnson, Marcus Paige and one of the best coaches in the game, UNC has proven why it’s a favorite to win it all.
