No. 7 Texas A&M will try to shock the world as they play the North Carolina Tarheels for a spot in the Sweet 16. Here’s everything you need to watch online or on TV.
The defending National Champions Tar Heels led by Head Coach Roy Williams will face off against the Aggies in Charlotte on Sunday in front of another home crowd as they aren’t too far from Chapel Hill, NC and look to keep their hopes of back-to-back titles alive. The Tar Heels will be fairly rested as they outmanned and obliterated inferior opponent David Lipscomb in the First Round on Friday.
The Tar Heels were paced by five players who were able to post double figures in the win, with Kenny Williams and Theo Pinson leading the way with 18 and 15 points respectively. The Tarheels took advantage of mismatches and utilized their physical nature by outrebounding Lipscomb 47-23 for the game and shot over 50 percent from the field as a unit.
The defense was pivotal in the rout of Lipscomb as the Heels held the Bisons to just 35.9 percent on 23-of-64 shooting and 7-for-28 from behind three-point. The only flaw for the Tarheels came in the form of turnovers, as they committed 18 in the game.
No. 7 A&M comes in after surprising most experts as they got out to a lead on Providence Friday and never looked back. Led by TJ Starks and Admon Gilder combining for 33 points, the Aggies found the willpower to withstand Providence runs winning by four, 73-69. A&M also won the battle on the glass outrebounding Providence 44-26 using their bigs Robert Williams and Tyler Davis who combined for 29 rebounds doing their best impressions as the “Twin Towers.”
