NCAA tournament 2016: North Carolina takes on Villanova in national title game

The North Carolina Tar Heels take on the Villanova Wildcats in the 2016 NCAA Tournament finals Monday evening. When this season began last year, many speculated and hoped it would be Maryland playing in tonight's game. Alas, the Terps couldn't get back to the Final Four for the first time since they won the title in 2002.

The Tar Heels are making their 10th national title game appearance and looking to capture the 10th basketball title in school history. Villanova is making its third trip to the national title game. They enter Thursday night's contest with a 1-1 record in such games, with the one win being the 1985 victory as a No.
