Lots of things to consider in choosing the winner of this game and they may be why there are no many different predictions on who will play on Monday Night.
Many have leaned toward Wisconsin because of their senior laden team playing a inexperienced very young team who play and depend on so many freshmen.
Others are favoring UNC because Carolina leads the nation in rebounding and score a bunch of points in the paint.
Still others like the Badgers because of their slow offensively approach similar to Virginia and Clemson’s which give the Tar Heels fits every time they have to play against it.
Others like the fact that Coach Williams has never lost a opening game especially with a week to prepare for a opponent.
On the other hand the Wisconsin followers have to like the point that their senior lead team does do not commit many turnovers while Carolina has been more like Santa giving away a ton which have resulted in many easy buckets and valuable change of possessions.
Carolina fans have witnessed how the squad has finally begun to jell as a team and have had a different player step up and lead them in almost every game.
The other two big variables that must be considered for these two teams to consider to dance is free throw shots attempted and made and which team can hit from downtown and prevent the other team from doing the same.
I might be wearing my light blue glasses but I think Carolina will be able to control the glass both offensively and defensively and that will be more important when the smoke clears between a highly experienced team that no question played in a more difficult league versus a young freshmen lead team that is talented and very hungry and have been playing better and better recently.
So on paper it is so close that this contest is basically a pick up game and saying that I pick Carolina by three like 66-63...
