Final Four infographic preview

From the all-ACC right side of the bracket comes North Carolina and Syracuse, just like we all imagined. Or not. The Tar Heels might have been Final Four picks since October, but few saw Syracuse taking down No. 1 Virginia -- as even Orange coach Jim Boeheim admitted after the game. UNC and Syracuse played twice in the regular season, with the Tar Heels winning both, but there are few teams in the nation that would relish the chance to face Syracuse after this tournament run. On paper, the Tar Heels are the far better team -- first in the nation in 2-point attempts and makes; second in the nation in rebounds and offensive efficiency -- but as we've seen, Boeheim's escape artists have plenty of experience coming from behind.
