DAMIAN'S 10* NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP HAMMER

Take North Carolina

I get the feeling that a lot of people feel that NC left it all on the table against Duke. That might be true but if you think they don't have anything left in the tank for the National Championship you are mistaken. The Bacot injury does concern me but indications are he's a go and I do feel NC is deeper than Kansas as well. Remember, Bacot returned to finish the game against Duke and Puff Johnson played well in his absence. Kansas might have had the easiest road to the Final Four in recent memory. That's not a knock on them but they have had some breaks along the way with lower seeds beating higher seeds and injuries to their opponents. They will face adversity in this game and it will be interesting to see how they respond. We know for a fact that NC has responded well in this tournament to adversity and are catching fire at exactly the right time. Take NC and the points in what should be a great game.
