Kansas is arguably the most successful program in the history of the sport, but North Carolina is right up there as well. These two teams have accounted for a lot of wins in the sport and are going to be going to battle for the National Championship on Monday Night.
Kansas is going to have its hands full on Monday night. North Carolina is playing at a different level in this tournament and has a chance to be the highest seed to ever win the tournament. The Jayhawks should have an advantage in a few key areas and will be able to neutralize some of the matchups with their own stars. The potential National Player of the Year in Ochai Agbaji when teamed up with Christian Braun is one of the best duos in the game and they are going to pose their own matchup problems for the Tar Heels
