North Carolina Tar Heels vs Kansas Jayhawks

What a fucking bum Harris is to turn the ball over up 3pts with 4 secs left and don't cover fucking pathetic

Refs are horrible. Dictating the game. Unc foul line 16 times 1st half. Kansas 4 times. Bullshit. Let them play. Call it both ways.

Outscored 40-18 after up 7-0. Unbelievable. Kansas sucks. Bill Self sucks as a coach. Can never win the big one.

Kansas just played the worst half of basketball I have seen in long time. This game is over already. 16-0 run really. 😭😭😭😭

LETS GO KANSAS-4!!!

The National Championship happens tonight with the North Carolina Tar Heels set to face off against the Kansas Jayhawks. Championship games rarely feature flat efforts, and history has shown us that teams coming off a highly emotional semifinal wins and coming back 48 hours later have shown no ill-effects. Both UNC and Kansas proved that they were not bothered by the tricky sight lines of playing in a massive dome. The Over is 9-3 in North Carolina’s 12 games as an underdog, 6-4 in their neutral-court games, and 8-4 in Kansas’ neutral-court games. Take the Over 152

The National Championship happens tonight with the North Carolina Tar Heels set to face off against the Kansas Jayhawks. Defensively, the Jayhawks were aggressive in their last game against Villanova and were able to hold the Wildcats to 39% shooting from the floor. Kansas has looked dominant in their last three halves of play and I like them to continue their good play. The Jayhawks have an elite transition offense, and I do not think the Tar Heels will slow them down. The Jayhawks are 7-2 ATS in their last nine overall and 10-3 ATS in their last 13 after a straight-up win. Take Kansas -4

kansas will rock it

#8 North Carolina battles #1 Kansas for the National Title. In the tourney, UNC is averaging around 80 points per game. The defense has been off and on, and they have taken down some of the toughest teams in the tournament. Kansas has won ten games in a row. They haven't lost since March 1st and the offense is trending up. The defense has been solid in their last two wins. Both teams are top 30 on offense and Kansas is the way more efficient team on defense. The total has gone OVER in 12 of North Carolina's last 18 games. Take the Over

***OVER 152*** Both teams lit it up in the semi's and I think the offenses keep rolling tonight. Per KenPom, both teams rank in the top 100 in adjusted tempo and average possession length. And each side ranks in the top 105 in possessions per game and attempts more than 23 percent of its shots in transition. Especially considering the way both Love and Ochai Agbaji are playing right now, I like the offenses to stay hot.

Bacot ankle for UNC is a huge concern as there was only a couple days rest and he's the leading scorer and rebounder. Tough to back UNC bc of that alone. One twist or turn and that ankle is rolling. Kansas ML

It is hard to rule this one as both sides have been exemplary in the last score of matches, especially in covering the spread. The Jayhawks are 7-2 ATS while the Tar Heels have covered in 9 out of the last 10 games. Nonetheless, there is something intriguing about North Carolina. They are a side with a great starting five that if any member of the pentagon is absent would struggle to deliver the goods as their bench is not that good. However, they are scoring enough to win matches for the team and if all start, there is no way that the Jayhawks will stop them. Thus, I'm taking my chances and backing the Tar Heels' on-fire first-team players to score enough to keep the match close and cover.

Out of 3 championship games the 8 seed has played in 8 seeds are 1-2 in championship games. Villanova back in 1985 over Georgetown is only win just sayin.. plus Kansas is on a 10 game winning streak to UNC 5 game winning streak. Last 5 games between Unc and Kansas have been double digit wins.

Rock Chalk! Agbaji went off on Saturday and will look to carry that into this one. KU never trailed against Nova and shot over 50% as a team from 3. If they can repeat this, they will run away with this one. Manek, Love and Bacot have been the three-headed monster for UNC, but with Bacot not being 100% and big play maker in McCormack on the other side, look for UNC to run into some walls. Take the Jayhawks and their defense to shut down the Tar Heels.

Its North Carolina guards against Kansas big man,I feel he has a break out game and The Jayhawks will be lights out!This game comes down to wire and Kansas gets the cover at the End!

TAKE KANSAS-4

The Tar Heels have a fast pace that can match the Jayhawks, but KU has been a little tougher on the defensive end. First one to 80 wins, and I think it will be the Jayhawks.

Final score: Kansas 80, North Carolina 74

I don’t think Vegas is giving KU -4 enough respect in this spot. Sure, North Carolina has been excellent offensively lately, but it appeared to shoot a bit over its head against Duke and don't think we can expect lightning to strike twice. KU should get plenty of shots up against North Carolina, with the Tar Heels trying to force the Jayhawks into contested mid-range jumpers. Transition defense is rightfully a massive concern for Davis, though, especially as quickly as KU’s guards get down the court.

Sometimes I feel like public bettors place wagers with their hearts. It’d be fun to see a close national championship game, especially with as entertaining of a tournament as it’s been. I don’t think we’ll get that here, though. The Jayhawks have been the better of these two teams over the last six months, and they’ll just need to be themselves to cut down the nets late Monday night. Kansas has too much fire power - give me KU for the win and cover.

Prediction: Kansas 78, North Carolina 68
