4. Oregon

It was a back and forth game that Carolina honestly should have put away a few different times. With two different opportunities to hit free throws and seal the deal, the Tar Heels came up short. Luckily, the number one rebounding team in the country flexed their muscles and pulled down two huge rebounds to run out the clock.

The old saying is “free throws win ball games,” but sometimes it comes down to rebounding that separates two teams.
