I think the North Carolina Tar Heels are the deepest and most poised team in this tournament. Don’t get me wrong, Gonzaga knows how to control the pace and wear you down on defense, but having been here last year, it’s hard to bet against the Tar Heels.

The Tar Heels have had the toughest road to the Finals, beating a tough Arkansas team, a star-studded Kentucky team with two projected top-10 draft picks, and an Oregon team that was one of the most talented in the tournament. These reasons, combined with the coaching of Roy Williams will be tough for the ‘Zags to overcome.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot, the Tar Heels still haven’t gotten over last year’s loss to Villanova. They seem like a team that is hungry for a National Championship. Tar Heels win 84-79, giving them their redemption and their 6th National Championship.

The National Championship game will tip-off at approximately 9:20 PM/EST on CBS.
