Brice Johnson finished just short of winning ACC Player of the Year for the Tar Heels, but can prove he was deserving with his NCAA Tournament performance. North Carolina potentially competing for a title, though, could ultimately hinge on the play of their guards Marcus Paige and Joel Berry. If those two step up, the Heels can make a deep NCAA Tournament run. As for FGCU, they already have a win in the NCAA Tournament after winning handily in the First Four, but Marc Eddy Norella and Christian Terrell will have to play the game of their life if they plan on beating North Carolina and making another Cinderella run in the NCAA Tournament.
