To me I like Ohio in this spot as they are a defensively minded team that can shoot the three and has been red hot all tournament long from the perimeter. That is the recipe for upsets and they also catch a break with the Tar Heels losing their key player in Marshall. He's still listed as questionable with surgery on his right wrist "Not his ball handling hand." However, I don't think he's likely to play and if he does he won't nearly be the same. The Tarheels are an up tempo team that averages nearly 14 more FGA than Ohio is used to giving up. Without Marshall at 100% I see Ohio being able to stay in this game right through the buzzer. Ohio is only turning the ball over 9 times per game over their last 5 which should also lead this game to their style of play with minimal possessions this game is far too many points to be given a team that holds opponents under 50 FGA per game.


Can we say revenge? More than anything that game was in Indiana and almost every thing went right for the Hoosiers and it still took a shot at the buzzer. I think Indiana has gotten pretty lucky to this point and are due for an awakening when they play the best team in this tournament. I don't think they can rely on Anthony Davis getting into foul trouble this time around as he hasn't been in any real foul trouble since that game.
