The North Carolina Tar Heels are ready for another Final Four appearance and will face off against Syracuse Saturday.

Jackson Cowart from the Daily Tar Heel joined Brad Russell in the Average Sports Show to talk about the squad and how they are playing their best basketball at the right time.

Cowart says Brice Johnson is the key to their success against the Orange.

"He's had a great tournament, and the road to the the National Championship's going to be on Brice's back," he said.

The Tar Heels have been to 19 Final Fours, more than any other team in men's college basketball.

 He says that the press that Coach Boeheim implements defensively for Syracuse is a little overblown, but if they clamp down defensively in the paint and force Carolina to shoot from the outside, Syracuse has a chance to win.
