What you guys think? UNC in another blowout, or will someone nail a three at the end to win it and have a date in the Final Four?

UNC by 8-10. It's close for the whole game till UNC goes up by a couple of baskets with a few minutes remaining.

I wouldn't call Pittsburgh, Georgetown, Villanova, Syracuse, Notre Dame anybody. Come on now, UNC has to Duke twice, Maryland, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech. That is WAY tougher competition!

Got some stats for ya to chew on, UNC fans....
- Louisville turned it over 19 times against TN and still beat them by 19 points. Think about how that could be. Then you'll know why UNC will not have it easy against the Cards. Might win, but it won't be easy.
- Louisville's only real weakness has been FT shooting. Against TN they shot 77%, including 9 in a row to close out the game. If they shoot it that well tonight, Carolina can be beaten.
- When Carolina has trouble getting shots to drop from outside, they become just a really good team instead of awesome. Louisville blocked 4 3-point attempts by TN, and had an amazing 9 blocks in the game.
- Louisville has held its first 3 opponents to an average of 56 points per game. They won't keep UNC in the 50s, but if they can keep them well below their average, it's anybody's game.
Now, having written all of that, I still think UNC is the favorite. They're basically playing at home (as it should be when you've earned the #1 seed) and they are the most talented team overall in the Dance. But they're going to have to bring their best, because Louisville won't go out without a dogfight.

I think only 2 of those teams you listed made the NCAA tournement....and 8th place Villanova beat your 3rd place team! That shows how tough the ACC is!...and we all know about duke.....

The committee underestimated the ACC this year. 7 to 8 teams should have been in!

I'm a Kentucky fan, but even I have to show some respect for the Cardinals. They are the best team in the best conference.
By the way, the Big Beast is definatley not the ACC. The Big East got twice as many teams into the tournament. I hat to say it but I hope the Cards win.

The Acc is nothing compared to the Big East...they only teams that are great in the Acc are UNC, Duke and Clemson....and o ya 2 of them got beat by "mediocre" Big East teams who were 5th and 9th in the Big east....Unc will not roll over a hot Louisville team

UofL - 105
UNC - 7
I gave them 7 because I think we'll probably put them in the 1 and 1 at some point and they have good free throw shooters... or so I've heard.

Uh, yeah bro. It kinda makes sense because, as it turns out, the big east has like twice as many teams as the acc or pretty much any other conferance for that matter. The east gets fat off its own horrid little teams and then goes off and plays real schools and gets slaughtered. UNC will spank the cards.

Louisville does not suck, but they will not beat UNC either. As a Duke fan, it pains me greatly to see the Tar Heels doing well, but they are very good. The one thing that is going against the Heels is that Pitino is a much better coach than Williams. A friend of mine once said, "As long as he (Williams) is on that sideline, the other team always has a chance to win."
