Stats don’t lie, one of these six teams will win the national championship
North Carolina
Adjusted offensive efficiency: 7
Adjusted defensive efficiency: 20
North Carolina, like Duke, is one of the best teams in the country when they are hot. Guards Coby White and Cam Johnson make for a tandem who have not received enough acclaim nationally for their play on both sides of the floor. They are the primary reason for North Carolina’s excellent offensive efficiency.
Veteran forward Luke Maye has ample experience in the NCAA tournament, and may remind you of a crafty forward like Tyler Hansborough who is a stretch four that will get hot and put the game away from deep. Mix in great length, and a talented group of role players, and UNC makes for a perfect team that is off the radar that could make a run towards a title.
The Tar Heels were a couple bounces away from being back-to-back national champions. Teams will have to outplay them for a full forty minutes to advance in the postseason.
