Men's national championship predictions, players to watch and other key storylines for Kansas vs. North Carolina

Two celebrated men's college basketball programs will compete for the right to add another banner to the home rafters on Monday night. The No. 1 seed Kansas Jayhawks and No. 8 seed North Carolina Tar Heels will meet for the NCAA Division I men's basketball national championship at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, looking to cap a magical run with one more win.

The Jayhawks, who took down Villanova in one national semifinal on Saturday night, will be vying for their fourth national championship (1952, 1988, 2008), and first since defeating Memphis for the 2008 title.
