Interesting how much the strength of ACC schedule plays into the line. The Tar Heels are 32-7.

Meanwhile, Gonzaga is 37-1, having only lost its regular-season finale to BYU.

After the close games in the semifinals, a tight final would not be a surprise.

And North Carolina fans probably don't want to remember the finish of last year's finale against Villanova.
