The North Carolina Tar Heels played like the title contenders they are in their Sweet Sixteen XXX against Butler. Carolina got contributions from the expected (Justin Jackson) and the somewhat-unexpected (Luke Maye) on their way to a trip to the Elite Eight.
UNC controlled nearly all of the game while Butler experienced multiple droughts from the field. With just under eight minutes to go, the game tightened a bit, enough to make any Tar Heel fan who witnessed the game against Arkansas nervous. The Heels stood tall and never let things get out of hand.
