Villanova vs. North Carolina
April 3, 2016
Villanova and North Carolina cruised to easy victories Saturday in perhaps the most boring set of national-semifinal games in the NCAA Tournament’s storied history. Not boring because of ‘Nova or UNC, however, just uneventful in the way they coasted to blowout wins over Oklahoma and Syracuse, respectively.
Jay Wright’s team went five years without playing beyond the first weekend of the Tournament, but it will play for the national title Monday night for the first time since Rollie Massimino’s team led by Ed Pinckney shocked Patrick Ewing and Georgetown in the 1985 finals at Rupp Arena in Lexington, KY.
Roy Williams is seeking to join an elite group of head coaches who have three or more national titles to their credit. That group includes John Wooden, Adolph Rupp, Bobby Knight, Mike Krzyzewski and Jim Calhoun.
This is Williams’s fifth trip to the Monday night game in his career. He took Kansas to the finals twice, losing both times to Duke (’91) and Syracuse (’03). He has gone 2-0 in the finals with UNC since leaving Lawrence for Chapel Hill.
This is UNC’s 10th trip to the finals in the program’s illustrious history. Williams has the second-best career NCAA Tournament record among active coaches, going 70-23 (75.3%). Wright is 19-12 in the Tournament (61.3%).
The Westgate SuperBook opened North Carolina (33-6 straight up, 20-18-1 against the spread) as a two-point favorite with a total of 151.5 points late last night in Las Vegas. In less than an hour, Jay Kornegay and Co. moved the Tar Heels to 2.5.
As of mid-afternoon Sunday, UNC was a 2.5-point ‘chalk’ with a total of 150. UNC is -150 on the money line, leaving ‘Nova at +130 to win outright (risk $100 to win $130).
Villanova (34-5 SU, 20-17-1 ATS) captured a 95-51 win over Oklahoma as a 2.5-point favorite in the biggest blowout in Final Four history. The Wildcats led by 14 at intermission and the Sooners quickly trimmed the deficit to nine on a Jordan Woodard putback of his own missed free throw.
Lon Kruger’s bunch would get no closer, though. The Wildcats stretched the lead to 21 with 11:19 remaining on a 3-pointer by Phil Booth. They led by 33 at the under-8 TV timeout and it was over.
Josh Hart had a game for the ages, scoring 23 points on 10-of-12 shooting in 30 minutes of playing time. The junior guard also had eight rebounds, two steals and four assists without a turnover. Kris Jenkins was sensational as well, producing 18 points, eight boards, two steals and one blocked shot.
Ryan Arcidiacono, the senior point guard and lifeblood of Wright’s program for the last four seasons, finished with 15 points on just six shots from the field. Arcidiacono drained 3-of-4 launches from downtown and had three rebounds and three assists.
Mikal Bridges (11), Booth (10) and Daniel Ochefu (10) were also in double figures. Ocheful had six rebounds, three assists, one steal, one rejection and didn’t commit a turnover.
How ‘on’ was Villanova? Well, it made 35-of-49 shots from the field at a torrid 71.4 percent clip. Depth perception at NRG Stadium in Houston was not an issue whatsoever. The Wildcats hit 11-of-18 shots from beyond the arc (61.1%).
On the flip side, OU made just 6-of-27 (22.2%) from 3-point land. The Sooners entered the game with the nation’s second-best three-point shooting percentage (42.1%).
Villanova’s stifling defense limited Buddy Hield, a first-team All-American, to his second-lowest scoring output of the season with only nine points.
Hield buried his first 3-point attempt, but he missed his next eight. He went 4-of-12 from the field, while Isaiah Cousins (3-of-14 FGs) and Woodard (3-of-10) were equally inept.
“Just credit them for what they were doing. Made it tough on me throwing multiple bodies at me,” Hield said at the postgame presser. Hield said the Wildcats were “one of the best teams I’ve ever played in college.”
Wright’s bunch has won four of its Tournament games by margins of 19 points or more. The Wildcats have covered the number in all five Tournament games, including their only close one in the 65-60 win over No. 1 overall seed Kansas in the Elite Eight. They have won their five games by an average margin of 23.6 points.
Meanwhile, UNC has won its five games by an average margin of 16.2 points. The Tar Heels have covered in four straight and won each game by a minimum of 14 points. The lone non-cover came in the opening round when they knocked off Fla. Gulf Coast by an 83-67 count as 22.5-point favorites.
North Carolina defeated Syracuse for a third time this year on Saturday, winning 83-66 as a 10-point favorite. The 149 combined points slipped ‘over’ the 142.5-point total.
Brice Johnson and Justin Jackson scored 16 points apiece for the winners. Johnson pulled down nine rebounds. Kennedy Meeks finished with 15 points, eight boards, two steals and two blocked shots, while Marcus Paige was also in double figures with 13 points. Joel Berry II had eight points and 10 assists compared to merely one turnover.
North Carolina has won 10 in a row while going 8-2 ATS. The Tar Heels made it to Houston by beating up on Providence (85-66), Indiana (101-86) and Notre Dame (88-74) after getting past Fla. Gulf Coast.
Johnson has been the catalyst, averaging 20.0 points and 9.6 rebounds per game. His overall averages for the year are 17.0 points and 10.5 RPG.
Villanova has been an underdog only twice this year, losing 86-75 at Virginia on Dec. 19 as a 5.5-point puppy. The other ‘dog spot came in the win over KU last weekend when it was catching two points from the Jayhawks.
UNC has thrived as a single-digit ‘chalk’ this season, compiling a 13-4 spread record, including eight consecutive covers in such situations.
These schools have met in the NCAA Tournament three times in the last 11 years. UNC has prevailed on each occasion. The Tar Heels won a 78-71 decision as a five-point favorite in the Round of 32 in 2013.
They collided at the Final Four in 2009 with North Carolina capturing an 83-69 triumph as a seven-point ‘chalk.’ In the 2005 Tournament, UNC advanced with a 67-66 victory, but the Wildcats easily took the money as 11-point underdogs.
The ‘over’ is 20-17-1 overall for the Wildcats after cashing at an 11-3 clip in their last 14 games.
The ‘over’ is 21-18 overall for UNC, hitting in three straight and four of its last five.
Tip-off is scheduled for 9:15 p.m. Eastern on TBS.

Monday's Top Action

VILLANOVA WILDCATS (34-5) vs. NORTH CAROLINA TAR HEELS (33-6)
NCAA Championship Game – NRG Stadium – Houston, TX
Tip-off: Monday, 9:15 pm ET
Sportsbook.ag Line: North Carolina -2.5, 151
Two of the best teams in college basketball finally clash when #2 Villanova faces #1 North Carolina in the NCAA Championship on Monday.
The Wildcats have been absolutely dominant throughout the NCAA tournament, winning-and-covering in all five of their games up to this point. Their Final Four matchup was actually the most lopsided, as Villanova pummeled Oklahoma 95-51 as a 2.5-point favorite on Saturday. T
he Wildcats shot 71.4% from the floor and held the Sooners to just 31.7%. If they can play that well on both ends of the floor then there is no way they will be denied a championship. North Carolina, however, has been pretty dominant as well.
The Tar Heels defeated Syracuse 83-66 as 10-point favorites on Saturday. It was the team’s fourth straight win-and-cover and North Carolina has won all five of its tournament games by double digits. These two teams have met just three times since 1997 and North Carolina is 3-0 SU and 2-1 ATS in those contests.
One thing that favors the Wildcats is that they are 19-5 ATS after allowing 65 points or less in two straight games over the past two seasons.
The Tar Heels, meanwhile, are 17-7 ATS in neutral court games in that span.
Villanova is coming off of a dominant performance over Oklahoma in the Final Four and one guy that really stepped it up was G Josh Hart (15.5 PPG, 6.7 RPG, 1.2 SPG). Hart finished the game with 23 points, eight rebounds, four assists and two steals and was 10-for-12 from the floor. He will need to find a way to be just as effective against a Tar Heels team that is loaded with talented wing players.
G Ryan Arcidiacono (12.4 PPG, 4.3 RPG, 1.4 SPG) will also be counted on in a big way on Monday. Arcidiacono had 15 points in the win over Oklahoma on Saturday, but he’ll need to be even better on both ends of the floor on Monday. If he does not win his matchup with Marcus Paige then it’s very unlikely that the Wildcats will be crowned champions when this game is over.
F Kris Jenkins (13.6 PPG, 3.9 RPG) is another guy that will need to make a huge impact from the wing. Jenkins is a big guy, but he is a 38.4% shooter from the outside and is 15-for-31 from three on the tournament.
If he can make shots on Monday then it’ll stretch the floor and allow C Daniel Ochefu (10.1 PPG, 7.6 RPG, 1.5 BPG) to go to work in the paint. Ochefu will have to be effective in this one, as the Wildcats can’t afford to get slaughtered in the points in the paint battle. That means he’ll also need to step it up defensively against an incredible North Carolina frontcourt.
Although Villanova is coming off of the 44-point victory, North Carolina has also been a force in this tournament. The reason the Tar Heels have been winning games so easily is their play in the paint.
Fs Brice Johnson (17.0 PPG, 10.5 RPG, 1.5 BPG, 1.1 SPG) and Kennedy Meeks (9.4 PPG, 5.9 RPG, 1.1 BPG) have just been too much to handle for other teams. Johnson is averaging 20.0 PPG, 9.6 RPG and 3.0 BPG through five games in this tournament.
He has done whatever he has wanted to around the basket offensively and he is a menace on the boards. If he can freely play his game on Monday then the Tar Heels will likely win the championship.
Meeks, meanwhile, is a big body that knows how to score around the basket. His play has taken a ton of pressure off of Johnson, but he’ll need to play well defensively in this one.
The x-factors in this game will, however, be G Marcus Paige (12.3 PPG, 3.7 APG, 1.2 SPG) and F Justin Jackson (12.3 PPG, 3.9 RPG). If Paige and Jackson can provide some scoring on the perimeter then the Tar Heels are likely going to win this one.
This team is too difficult to stop around the basket and Villanova won’t be able to win if it has to deal with a Tar Heels group that is clicking on all cylinders.

UNC looks for 6th title against Villanova
April 3, 2016
HOUSTON (AP) North Carolina will look for its sixth NCAA championship when the Tar Heels meet the Villanova Wildcats, trying for their second, on Monday night.
The Tar Heels (33-6) last won it all in 2009 and Villanova's only title came in 1985.
Both teams advanced to the championship game with lopsided wins, but Villanova's was far more of a blowout than North Carolina's.
The top-seeded Tar Heels beat 10-seed Syracuse 83-66 on Saturday night in a national semifinal for their 10th straight win. That was after the Wildcats made easy work of Buddy Hield and Oklahoma, with a 95-51 trampling that was the biggest margin of victory in a national semifinal game.
Villanova (34-5) did it with 71.4 percent shooting led by Josh Hart, who scored 23 points on 10 of 12 shooting.
That percentage was the second best in the history of the Final Four. The only team to shoot a higher percentage was that eighth-seeded team in 1985 eighth-seeded team coached by Rollie Massimino which shot 78.6 percent to pull an upset over Georgetown in the final.
''They shot the ball very efficient tonight,'' Hield said of Villanova. ''If a team do this, I feel they can go win it all.''
It won't be easy against the only No. 1 seed to advance to the Final Four this season. Coach Roy Williams has already led two North Carolina teams to championships and this squad has won each of its five tournament games this year by an average of 16.2 points.
Nevada sports books opened betting on the title game with North Carolina as a 2-point favorite.
Williams wasn't ready to talk about the next game just minutes after North Carolina had wrapped up its semifinal victory.
''Marty Schottenheimer, the coach of the Chiefs a long time ago, had the greatest saying in the world: `Enjoy the dickens out of it until midnight and then worry about that other team,''' he said.
North Carolina has reached the title game for the 10th time and it will be just the third appearance for Villanova.
The two schools have some tournament history with the Tarheels beating Villanova in the tournament on the way to their titles in 1982, 2005 and 2009. They downed the Wildcats in the national semifinals in 2009 before beating Michigan State for the championship.
The Wildcats seemed to handle their easy win exactly the way a coach would hope a team with its biggest game to come would. Forward Daniel Ochefu, who was one of six Villanova players to score in double figures, insisted there was no postgame revelry after Saturday night's victory.
''It was very businesslike,'' he said. ''No one was celebrating. Everyone understands that our next game on Monday we'll be playing a great team and we're not celebrating. We told each other at the end of the game that we have a lot of work to do. We can still get better.''
North Carolina also had a balanced scoring attack in its semifinal win with Brice Johnson and Justin Jackson adding 16 points each to go with 15 from Kennedy Meeks and Marcus Paige's 13.
But it was the defensive effort of the Tar Heels that Williams was most excited about.
''The last four weeks we've been much, much better defensively,'' he said. ''We had a brain lapse there for about three minutes in the second half, but other than that I thought we were really good defensively against a team that's hard to guard.''
The matchup on Monday could be interesting inside after both teams dominated in the paint on Saturday. Villanova outscored Oklahoma 38-20 inside and North Carolina had more points but the same margin by making 50 inside to 32 by Syracuse.
''Our main goal is to play a similar goal to what we played tonight, get the ball inside, really try to pound it in there and knock down our free throws,'' Meeks said.

Brotherly battle between Jenkins, Britt for national title
April 3, 2016
HOUSTON (AP) Kris Jenkins and Nate Britt, brothers in every way except blood, are giving each other the silent treatment for about 48 hours.
Maybe they will exchange a ''good luck'' or a fist bump before Jenkins and Villanova (34-5) face Britt and North Carolina (33-6) on Monday night in the NCAA Tournament championship game. Otherwise, ''Nah,'' Jenkins said, ''no talking.''
It's the biggest competition yet between a couple guys who grew up trying to beat each other in everything. While the Wildcats-Tar Heels matchup might be a no-lose situation for the Britt family, for the players involved there will definitely be only one winner.
''Whoever wins the game, obviously the other one is going to be hurt and going to feel bad,'' Britt said. ''That'll be permanent bragging rights for the rest of our lives.''
Jenkins and Britt met as 10-year-olds playing AAU basketball in the Washington D.C. area.
Eventually, Jenkins started playing for a team coached by Britt's father and spending lots of time at the Britts' home - especially when Jenkins' mother, Felicia, was spending almost all of her time at the hospital with her ailing infant daughter. Kori was 11 months old when she died.
When Felicia Jenkins, a former college basketball player, got a job coaching at Benedict College in Columbia, South Carolina, she felt it would be best for Kris to stay with the Britts in Maryland permanently. In 2007, the Britts became Jenkins' legal guardians.
''It's been the greatest decision that's ever happened in my life,'' Jenkins said.
Villanova coach Jay Wright said Britt, not Jenkins, was his priority when he took a recruiting visit to the Britt home.
''We liked Kris, but we thought he's overweight and he's not going to do all the stuff we do,'' Wright said.
But the 6-foot-6 Jenkins, who weighed as much as 280 pounds back in high school, liked what he heard from Wright. He ended up committing to Villanova, and dropping 40 pounds, and Britt chose North Carolina.
When the Tar Heels and Wildcats played each other in the first round of the 2013 NCAA Tournament, Jenkins and Britt watched the game together, rooting for their future schools - and not talking to each other. They trash texted each other and didn't even sit on the same couch.
''That was fun,'' Britt said. North Carolina won 78-71.
The Britts have spent the past few weeks bouncing around the country watching their sons play.
Last weekend, they managed to attend all four Elite Eight games, two in Philadelphia (where North Carolina played) and two in Louisville (were Villanova played). Jenkins even attended North Carolina's East Regional championship victory against Notre Dame.
Nate Britt, the 6-1 guard who averages 5.5 points off the bench, said he does not know which section his parents and sister will be sitting Monday night.
''I tried to ask them how they would remain neutral, what they would wear, but they didn't tell me,'' Britt said.
Jenkins, second on Villanova in scoring (13.5 per game), remains close with his birth parents. He says he has two families. And he roots for North Carolina all the time. Well, almost.
''I do hope he plays well,'' Jenkins said. ''I hope he's injury free and things like that. But there's nobody in the world I want to beat more than my brother.''
Some things to watch for when Villanova plays North Carolina in the NCAA Tournament for the seventh time (the Tar Heels are 5-1).
---
TWO POINTS
Both teams like to play with two point guards on the floor at once. For Villanova, it's senior Ryan Arcidiacono and freshman Jalen Brunson. For North Carolina, it's senior Marcus Paige and sophomore Joel Berry II.
''It's always good to have multiple ball handlers and creators out there,'' Paige said. ''You saw last night against the (Syracuse) zone, Joel was able to penetrate the gaps and I was able to knock down some shots. And other nights I have a matchup where I can get in the paint and create things. And Villanova does the same thing with Brunson and Arcidiacono.''
---
HISTORY
Villanova's only national championship was one of the most famous upsets in the history of not just the NCAA Tournament, but in all of American sports. The 1985 Wildcats upset Patrick Ewing and Georgetown in the final with a near perfect performance.
''It's something we're always reminded of,'' Brunson said.
Rollie Massimino, 81, who coached the '85 team, told USA Today Sports he was hoping to attend Monday night's game. He lives in Florida and his wife has been ailing.
North Carolina coach Roy Williams can make history by becoming the sixth coach with at least three NCAA titles. He would match Bobby Knight and Jim Calhoun with three, and surpass his mentor and former North Carolina coach, the late Dean Smith.

North Carolina opens slight fave over Villanova for national championship
Villanova was impressive in their national semi final, but open as slight dogs to No. 1 North Carolina.
March Madness has now rolled into April, and we’re down to No. 1 seed North Carolina and No. 2 seed Villanova. The two teams will square off for the NCAA Tournament title Monday night at Houston’s NRG Stadium, where both coasted to Final Four victories Saturday night.
Villanova’s win was extremely impressive. The Wildcats went off as 2.5-point chalk against fellow No. 2 seed Oklahoma, but made the Sooners look like a one-legged man in a butt-kicking contest in a 95-51 shellacking. After leading by 14 at the half, ‘Nova (34-5 SU, 20-17-1 ATS) spanked the Sooners 53-23 in the final 20 minutes.
North Carolina (33-6 SU, 20-18-1 ATS) wasn’t quite that impressive, but the Tar Heels shot nearly 54 percent from the floor and got more easy buckets than you could count in an 83-66 win as a 10-point favorite.
The oddsmakers certainly expect the Heels to get a stiffer test from the Wildcats. John Lester, senior lines manager for Bookmaker.eu, told Covers his shop opened Carolina at -2, with the total at 151.
“It really does feel like we've got the two best, most complete teams in the tournament facing off for the national title,” Lester said. “This was somewhat of a difficult line to create because, save for one game, the wiseguys have been backing Villanova throughout the dance, while the Tar Heels have had heavy support from the squares. Public perception dictates North Carolina being the favorite.”
Jason Simbal, vice president of risk management for CG Technology, which operates several Las Vegas sportsbooks, said his shop set the initial number just a tick lower. But Tar Heels bettors didn’t let it stay that way for long.
“We opened North Carolina -1.5, which is the look-ahead line we had up all week,” Simbal said. “When the games ended today, they bet Carolina and we moved it to 2. We’ve got four times more money on the Tar Heels as of this moment.”
Both of Saturday’s games cleared the total, with Villanova-Oklahoma going a bucket over 144 and North Carolina-Syracuse topping the 142.5 total by 6.5 points. Simbal said CG pegged the championship game total slightly higher than Bookmaker, at 152.
“We’ve gotten some small bets on the over, but not enough to move the number.”
