N. CAROLINA +4.5
ANALYSIS: I think the Tar Heels match up quite well against this Kansas team. The Jayhawks benefited from facing a short-handed Villanova squad. North Carolina has a huge edge in rebounding and free-throw percentage. Kansas shot 53.7 percent from the field and 54.2 percent from 3-point range in beating the Wildcats - both are well above its season averages. Kansas is major fade bait now as a favorite. I like North Carolina plus the points.

KANSAS -195
ANALYSIS: I may come back and play North Carolina on the spread (if it gets to +5 I will for sure) and hope to win both ways, but I wonder how close to 100 percent that Heels big man Armando Bacot is due to his ankle injury. X-rays were negative and the double-double machine will play Monday but even a bit limited would crush the Heels.

N. CAROLINA +4
ANALYSIS: It could be a letdown for the Tar Heels after beating Duke in coach Mike Krzyzewski's final game, but I see this team reaching its peak at the right moment as it has won 17 of its last 20 contests and covering all five in its NCAA Tournament run as a No. 8 seed. The Tar Heels' stock has gone way up. There is a significant rebounding edge for North Carolina in this game, and also a taller force than the one with which Villanova defended. North Carolina's success comes from forcing a frenzied pace, attacking the defense and winning the rebounding battle. Take UNC.
