NCAA tournament Final Four preview: No. 1 North Carolina vs. No. 3 Oregon

Posted Mar 31, 2017
If experience matters, the Tar Heels have the edge as the lone returnees from last year’s semifinal quartet. They have a deep collection of athletes to help them dictate their preferred fast tempo. UNC’s big men can score, but they’re primarily asked to crash the boards, which they do very well. Finally, there’s Justin Jackson, the 6-8 All-American who can take over a game. (USA Today)
