North Carolina at UCLA

North Carolina despite a good overall record was in danger of missing the NCAA Tournament until they beat Duke in the ACC Tournament. One game does not make a season, and they head into the deep end of the pool against a UCLA team that is 27-7 on the season, and is 7-1 in their last 8 losing only to #1 seed Arizona. Carolina is dependent on their high level of rebounding to win, and they have won the battle of the boards in each of their last 12 games. UCLA is their equal off the glass as the Bruins have been out-rebounded just 1 time in their last 8 games. UCLA has a lot of tourney experience of last year's final run, and neutralizing the glass, and the experience edge tips the scales in their favor. Make the play on UCLA.
