We have finally reached March Madness and the round of 64 takes place on Thursday on Friday. One of the last games to tip off in the round is between the Iona Gaels and the North Carolina Tar Heels at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.
The last time these two teams faced off was in 2007 when UNC came out ahead 107-72.
Iona Gaels
The Iona Gaels don’t have an impressive record but that has a lot to do with the tough non-conference schedule, more than how good this team is.
Coming into this game they are hot having won ten games in a row and in the last game to win the title they beat Monmouth in a dominating fashion, 81-60.

The Gaels are a good offensive team averaging 76.8 points per game but the defense hasn’t been good giving up over 75 points per game.
In this game the offense will be there but if they want any chance to keep it close, the defense needs to find a way to step up.
North Carolina Tar Heels
On the other side of this matchup is the North Carolina Tar Heels who still were able to get the number one seed even though they lost in the ACC semifinals to Duke.
For the Tar Heels they like to run and their goal is to run any team out of the gym it doesn’t matter who it is. On the season they are averaging 86.1 points per game.
Over the last five games that number has dropped a little down to 79 points but in the NCAA tournament, they need to try and get that number up.

In this game if they push the pace they should have no issue winning this game, and the goal should be to try and get the starters a lot of rest in this game.
