North Carolina Tar Heels

The top-seeded Tar Heels will be faced with the Butler Bulldogs in this Sweet 16. With Duke, Louisville, and Villanova already eliminated, North Carolina is one of the title favorites that’s still standing.

While they won’t get to exact revenge in the national championship thanks to the Badgers, this could spur them on to make more bad blood.

Butler is a household name, going together with March Madness like peanut butter and jelly. But, when it’s all said and done, the fat lady might stop singing at this part of the dance.

To have a real chance to beat North Carolina, you have to come at head coach Roy Williams with something he’s either never seen before or will never see again.

Kind of hard to do, but it’s happened before.
