Desired outcome. Looking forward to tomorrow night.

Carolina, +4 on talent. They can sit 2 of their starters for 15 minutes and still win easily against top teams. They have 8 legitimate championship caliber starters.
Wildcats +3 on coaching. Jay Wright has been masterful in his defensive schemes throughout the tournament, and beat a solid well coached Kansas team already.
Carolina has an enormous advantage on the front line, Villanova is the better defensive team. If the Wildcats can contain UNC's guards they'll win.
I do believe just too many horses to overcome - Carolina by 5.
As always, I'm supporting the dog.

Villanova looks much more comfortable than OU playing in the mega stadium setting.
Wonder if Syracuse's Carrier Dome experience will give them a comfort edge over UNC in the second game.
