8. Which Team Is Going To Dictate The Pace Of Play?

This is one of the more crucial questions going into the game. Kentucky and North Carolina just played one of the most impressive offensive games of all-time. If you love watching both teams running up and down the floor, making every basket, then that was the game for you.
