UNC vs. Michigan State: Three Things to Watch

The NCAA Tournament was cruel to a number of single-digit seeded teams yesterday, but thankfully the Tar Heels were not one of them. They took down 16-seed Wagner 90-62 to move on to the second round game against Michigan State. The Spartans are coming into the game fresh off of a win over Mississippi State, which messed up quite a few people’s brackets. Some analysts were very convinced that the Bulldogs would not only win but would take down the Tar Heels. As it turns out, though, March Izzo is alive and well. This will be Hubert Davis’ first time facing Tom Izzo as a head coach, so we’ll see if he has some of that magic that Roy Williams had when it came to beating the Spartans.
