The marquee game of this round. Both teams have a ton of athletes, both coaches seem to be better recruiters than actual coaches. Feels like Carolina wins, but may get a better line on Indiana as the public is likely to back UNC like usual. Total is very high for this late in the tournament, but we could easily see a racehorse type game.

This one will be fun to watch. I really hope the line goes up... I'd love to grab IU. That said, I actually see this line going down. I think some 'smart' money will come in on IU.Comment -
I like IU. North Carolina is a good team, but I feel like they don't have that go to guy. IU has one of, if not the best, guard in college basketball. Yogi makes big plays at big times. If this team is on and hitting 3s they are very hard to beat.Comment -
IU with the pointsComment -
Take the points.Comment -
IU and pts? Nah.Comment -
UNC will roll on Indiana. The domination on the boards will be what ultimately wins this game. Remember when Providence had 2 NBA players and we're going to take down the Heels then got curb stomped? Indiana will have no answer for Hicks and Johnson. The one big they do have will be in foul trouble then Indiana will live and die on the 3. Sure they are very good from deep but UNC has brought it defensively since the ACC tournament. Kentucky lost because their big men are skinny little pussies, this is a whole different beast facing the Hoosiers. When UNC pulls away don't forget I warned you about Indiana.
Also, Indiana like a fast pace which plays right into the hand of Carolina. If they try then they will get schooled on how to run and gun.Comment -
When IU is knocking down shots they can beat anybody. Totally depends which UNC defense shows up.... If its the one that couldn't stop Duke for their lives, then Indiana wins going away.
Tourney games come down to guardplay this weekend. Paige isn't elite, Yogi is. We shall see.Comment -
This won't be close. Indiana won't be smart enough to slow the game down and UNC's athletes are by far better. Only way they can cover is with 10+ 3 pointers madeComment -
That's the thing though TP.....IU loves the 3 off transition plus Troy Williams is prob the fastest forward in cbb. NC is long....even longer than Kentucky and they held IU to 6-21 from 3! If Robert Johnson didn't turn his ankle again I would like the Hoosiers chances a lot better! He's a huge loss if he's not ready? He's been on fire from 3 and hit 2 early vs Kentucky. IU is just too banged up but if they can rebound and Yogi is on then it could be competitive.Comment
