Final Four: UNC versus Syracuse preview

The day is finally here, it’s Final Four Saturday in college basketball.

Tonight four teams will look to punch their ticket to Monday’s National Championship Game in Houston as the college basketball season comes to a close. Villanova and Oklahoma will kick off the action in tonight’s double header, followed by North Carolina and Syracuse.

For the Tar Heels, it’s their first trip back to the Final Four since 2009 when they defeated Villanova and then went on to beat Michigan State in the National Championship. The Orange are back for the first time since 2013 when they lost to eventual runner-up Michigan.
