The best matchup on Thursday night features No. 1 North Carolina taking on No. 4 Alabama. It’s a matchup of differing styles, with North Carolina living in the paint and Alabama setting up shop behind the arc. Friday night’s best game is No. 1 Houston facing off against No. 4 Duke. The Cougars escaped the Round of 32 with a 100-95 overtime victory over No. 9 Texas A&M. Meanwhile, Duke didn’t break a sweat in their 93-55 win over No. 12 James Madison.
