Matchup<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0Preview<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maryland<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maryland had little trouble beating on an even more downtrodden Wake Forest program 82-60 in the conference opener. \u00a0Their reward, a quarterfinal matchup with North Carolina, a team they lost to by 24 points in the second last game of the regular season. \u00a0Odds are their season ends now.<\/p>\n

Maryland\u2019s only chance is to get another great game from high scoring guard Terrence Stoglin. \u00a0Stoglin had 25 points against Wake but was totally held in check the last time the Terps played the Tar Heels. \u00a0He shot 4 for 16 and when he doesn\u2019t play well it is hard for this team to compete against top competition. \u00a0They will need center Alex Len and forward James Padgett to also play big, literally. \u00a0If the Terps don\u2019t rebound the ball well this game will be over quickly. \u00a0[soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n

North Carolina<\/strong><\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t the epic year some had predicted, but the North Carolina Tar Heels finished the regular season at the top of the ACC standings, ranked in the top 5 and with only 4 total losses. \u00a0On Saturday night they avenged their home loss to Duke by beating the Blue Devils rather easily on their home floor. \u00a0In terms of pro talent, perhaps only Kentucky is loaded with more NBA talent than UNC. \u00a0But championships are won with heart too and that is where this team sometimes falls short.<\/p>\n

Harrison Barnes, Tyler Zeller, John Henson and Kendall Marshall. \u00a0Look up any mock draft for next year and you can see all of their names, most of them in the lottery. \u00a0This team is packed with talent and truthfully it is all very complementary to each other. \u00a0The one drawback you see is that even though Marshall is a top assist guy he is not a great leader. \u00a0When things don\u2019t come easily this team struggles to scrap for victories.
\nP.S. Coach Roy Williams is notorious for not caring about the league tourney – buyer beware.<\/p>\n
