How are we going to top Saturday night's Final Four? The 2022 version of March Madness extended into April after North Carolina beat Duke 81-77. It was the second straight time the Tar Heels defeated the rival Blue Devils and it brought the coaching career of Mike Krzyzewski to a close.
UNC will take on Kansas, which had an easier time with Villanova in a 81-68 victory, in Monday's NCAA Tournament championship game
So, you would expect the Jayhawks, the No. 1 seed in the Midwest region, to be favored over the 8th-seeded Tar Heels, and you would be correct. Kansas opened as a 4-point favorite (-190) over North Carolina (+160) to win the national championship on Monday night according to odds from Caesars Sportsbook.
The Tar Heels are looking to become the second No. 8 seed to win the title, following in the footsteps of Rollie Massimino's Villanova team in 1985.
