UNC vs. Villanova: NCAA Tournament Championship Preview and Prediction

Posted Apr 3, 2016
It’s no fluke that Villanova and North Carolina are the last two teams standing. No other teams have churned out excellent performances on both offense and defense as often during this year’s NCAA Tournament. This title game has all of the makings of an instant classic and should go down to the final minute. Prediction: Villanova 78, North Carolina 74 (Athlon Sports)
