Elite 8 Preview: Sunday’s picks and predictions

Posted Mar 26, 2017
The Tar Heels lead the nation in offensive rebounding percentage, and they are one of the only elite teams that thrives playing two bigs at the same time. Wenyen Gabriel or Derek Willis is going to have to deal with Isaiah Hicks, Kennedy Meeks and Tony Bradley. That matchup favors UNC. In the end, Theo Pinson’s presence and UNC’s size will be too much.
