What Did You Say?

Before the championship game could be played, a prediction had to be made.
As part of the CBS pregame show, Greg Gumble asked his "in studio" analysts Greg Anthony and Seth Davis to breakdown the game and select a winner.
Both said Michigan State.
Davis' rationale for selecting Tom Izzo's bunch was this: defense, depth, Detroit and ... destiny.
Michigan State won the NCAA Championship 30 years ago. It has the "home court" as the game will be played at Detroit's Ford Field and can go 12 deep without losing much in the way of tempo and ability.
None of that matters when compared to North Carolina's talent, teamwork, track record and ... destiny.
North Carolina has four players who will be playing in the NBA either this coming season or the next. The Tar Heels average 90 points per game this season and play off of one another better than those guys from "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"
Not to mention the Heels have won every game thus far in the NCAA Tournament by at least 12 points, and who did you predict to win?
Come on. Get it together.
North Carolina will win it running away, 84-67.
