The Tarheels look to pick up where they left off and enter the NCAA tournament with a burst of energy. Winning the ACC championship against Clemson proved to be fruitful, earning a no. 1 seed. They have to get out early against Mount St. Mary's and don't let up on the defensive pressure. Everyone rooting for the Heels will have high expectations for Tyler Hansbrough as he's delivered so many times in the clutch this season. With UNC's two main point guards got injured the hard-nosed, tenacious junior carried the team on his shoulders. A new challenge awaits them tonight. They can't get too comfortable in this first round matchup because it could come back to bite them.
Learning from the Duke vs. Belmont game, avoiding the same mistakes as their rival, UNC can be better prepared by studing game film. I have a feeling Coach Roy Williams will have his troops charged up with strategies all laid out. The Tarheels though will be responsible for executing these plays. North Carolina thrives on fast-break chances and ought to run as often as possible. Since the Tarheels only allow around 69 points on average by their opponents they shouldn't face a scare against the Mountaineers who held a 11-7 record in the Northeast conference and are 19-14 overall. The action gets underway tonight at 7 p.m. ET on CBS.
