North Carolina's Sweet 16 opponent is No. 11-seed Marquette, which is coming off of its best defensive performance of the year in an upset of No. 3-seed Syracuse. Tip-off on Friday in Newark is set for 7:15 p.m. on CBS. The Golden Eagles have won seven of their last 10 games, but also own an 8-10 mark in away and neutral court games in Buzz Williams’ third year as head coach. (Inside Carolina)
