HOUSTON -- 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.
