We fall in love with the one-and-dones in the preseason. We focus on who has the NBA prospects during the season.
But in March and April, this is what usually wins: Scoring inside and out, experience and a great coach.
The team that has the tidiest package of all three this season is the No. 8 North Carolina Tar Heels, who beat the No. 7 Louisville Cardinals 74-63 on Wednesday night to put two games between them and the rest of the ACC.
This was on a night that the Heels started 2-of-15 from the field with four turnovers during the initial brickfest. This was on a night that their starting power forward went scoreless in 14 foul-plagued minutes.
Didn’t matter.
