I think uk is the third best team left. They play the team i think is the second best today. Oregon is really good as well. Uk has 3 huge tests looming if they want to win the whole thing.

Mark, what's your breakdown of North Carolina. I know they are good, but every time I watch them I'm just not that impressed. Berry looks short and slow to me, and a streaky shooter. Meeks is slow. Jackson is a good player, his strength is suspect. Can they really give UK a game

UNC is really deep. When Berry is playing well I think they are the best team in the country, but Berry can be inconsistent. Kentucky has 2 guys that really scare you, while UNC has 5 or 6. UNC likes to push. They area good fast break team and good on the secondary break. Against UCLA Coach Cal slowed the game to not let UCLA run. Maybe he'll try that again with UNC to take away their fast beaks and depth advantage, but I could see this being an up and down game. Unlike UCLA, UNC is good on defense. Cal trusted his guys ability to get good shots late in the shot clock against UCLA but that would be harder against UNC. UK has been a team that's played fast most the year as well so this game could get pretty up and down.

UNC's bigs all can score inside and all are good of the offensive glass. Jackson has been a stud all season. I think UNC is the highest ceiling team left. They just can beat you from so many different spots. Should be a fun game.
