As for UNC, it's possible they're the most talented team on offense in the whole thing, but they break down on defense too much, and Durant's the guy to take advantage. And UNC is another team without much upperclass leadership.
Watch out for Louisville in Lexington against aTm...

I have about the same thing as far as NC and Fla go. I also agree on the inexperience theme. My Final two are Geo beating OSU and losing to Kan

If that happens, then it's OSU in the Final Four, because no way does an undisciplined team like Louisville beat OSU. Or Memphis. Ultimately I think that "home-court" thing for Louisville is overrated. They jack up threes like it's their job and don't hit many of them.

Yeah but they have a ton of talent and you can't discredit playing that close to home...
Also if they are hot they will be tought to beat, b/c they have great size down low...
