I am going with Gonzaga. I think they are the better team. Carolina has been squeezing by with some nice breaks and good matchups. The big guy in the middle for Gonzaga will be a difference maker. They have to keep him out of foul trouble but that size in the middle will make a difference when compared to who Carolina has played the last couple games.

I think the Zags have a great chance for two reasons: 1) they have the size to matchup down low with the Tarheels. 2) I don't Berry is no where near 100% the ankle is giving him problems.

Saying all that Carolina seeming to be a team of destiny should be a another great game. One of the better final four nights both games down to the wire.

Vegas has the Tarheels as -2 favorite and the over/under is 154.5.

All we'll hear about the next two days is how great UNC is playing, but are they really? UNC may very well win, but the Zags are operating better right now.

Who will you hear it from? It's obvious to everybody they're skating by

IMO the difference maker will be if Carolina can run the zags off the 3 point line. They shoot it so well.

Had to go with NC, but no way I pull for them, it's a pick I hope I'm wrong on. GO ZAGS

ESPN? If you turn it on you'll hear Bilas and crew singing praises of Jackson and Meeks and deservedly so they both played great tonight, but this will get confused with Carolina playing great and I think it would be foolish to say that they are. You have a 70% Joel Berry, they're getting nothing from their bigs outside of Meeks tonight, and they only beat Oregon by 1 when Oregon played one of the least efficient games I've seen them play the whole season. We all know that UNC has the capability to operate at an extremely high level when they are healthy and getting production from more than 2 guys. I don't see it right now. But it's still a coin flip game with Carolina not operating at maximum efficiency.

North Carolina's luck finally runs out in the championship game. The Zags can match their size and shooting and are playing better right now. The Heels have been getting the calls, the bounces, and the luck. That all ends Monday night with Gonzaga cutting down the nets for their first NCAA title.

Did last week really upset you that much? The analyst tonight have majority taken Gonzaga due to carolina's play.

I'm going out on a limb here imo and picking Gonzaga. UNC seems to have gotten every break, crucial play go their way in the region final and again vs. Oregon. Will be interesting to see who calls the game and how it's called.

I think that Gonzaga getting thru a region and making it to a final four got them over the wall so to speak in the tournament . Plus , these Zags play far better defense than past teams of theirs.

Gonzaga 75 UNC 70.....Then again, I had Arizona winning it all so what do I know :idunno: ?

Zags wins

 

77-71

I'm not upset about last week anymore. All Im saying is UNC is not clicking on all cylinders right now. Also I just had ESPN on and Greenberg, Bilas, and Davis took UNC and only Jay Williams took Gonzaga. I don't know what program you're watching.

Considering this is a Kentucky based site, I understand why all I hear is; how UNC is just skating by with wins, and Gonzaga is playing better right now. Well it appears that they are both are playing well enough to make it to the final game. Carolina struggled against Oregon offensively and it showed. Looking at the match ups, Carolina has the advantage with their depth. Gonzaga's big man can not keep up with the transition game that the heels can threat with when playing well. I honestly thought UK was the biggest threat for the heels, so I'm happy with that win alone, and now it's time to shut everyone up and finish the job.
