On December 19, 2015, the No. 11-ranked North Carolina Tar Heels march into the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York to face the No. 22-ranked UCLA Bruins. This will be an interesting matchup when considering the coaches and the players. Steve Alford, former point guard who led the Indiana Hoosiers to a 1987 national championship, coaches UCLA. His team mirrors North Carolina’s squad almost identically. For example, UCLA has five players who average double figures in points (Bryce Alford, Tony Parker, Isaac Hamilton, Thomas Welsh, Aaron Holiday). Alford utilizes an eight-man rotation. Roy Williams’s uses a nine-man rotation on a regular basis; slightly different.
