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.

 

How can you tell. UNC has had the tougher road to the final than Gonzaga and they've got heart and grit.

 

Excuse me while I :puke: for defending the Heels.

UNC has without a doubt had the tougher path. Not even debatable. But they are just barely scraping and not executing with a high level of proficiency right now. They are without a doubt a better team than Gonzaga, but I like the way the Zags are playing right now more than UNC.

538 gives Gonzaga a 62% chance to win.

Uh oh, last time they had a clear favorite...

Gonzaga in route to the National Championship

 

SDSU, Northwestern, West Virginia, Xavier, South Carolina-- What a path to the championship game.

 

Wichita ST, UCLA and UNC are tougher than anyone they've played.

 

I have to go UNC here.

No clue what Wichita St and UCLA have to do with it

Gonzaga 78-74.

Of course, 538 didn't fair well in November. I'm saying that UNC has a 62% chance to win but I'm hoping for a college basketball Brexit- style victory for the Zagsters.

538 gave him a 1 in 3 chance of winning late in early November, the rest of the world gave him a snowballs chance

Gonzaga will be the first team in the AP era to play in the National Championship without having previously played an AP Top 10 team.

In fairness, Arizona and (I think) Florida were ranked in the top 10 at times during the season, just not when they played. Their route to the title game was relatively easy though.

Unfortunately the Heels roll in this one. I'll be pulling for the Zags to win their first title though.

UNC went 6 minutes agaainst UK without a FG and the last 5:30 against Oregon without a FG and still won both. Watchout if they can figure out how to end those types of droughts. I pick UNC to win it all, hopefully Zags keep hitting from three land.

I concur on all accounts.
