North Carolina heads into the NCAA Tournament with a 27-7 record overall and finished the regular season with a 13-5 record against teams in the ACC. Their biggest non-conference win of the season came against former No. 14-ranked Kentucky. Inside of the conference, they took down former No. 14-ranked Duke and No. 19 California.
Oregon State will head to Chapel Hill, North Carolina after winning the West Coast Conference and earning an automatic bid to the tournament. They finished their season with a 16-15 record before winning three games in the conference tournament. They took down Portland by 13 points in the final game of that tournament.

North Carolina vs Oregon State prediction, pick
North Carolina has everything but momentum on their side. They are not only the highly favored and seeded team, they are playing this game on their home court at Carmichael Arena in Chapel Hill. Maria Gakdeng and Alyssa Ustby will provide a power down low that Oregon State will not be able to overcome.
The facilitation of Lexi Donarski will also cause problems for the Beavers. Oregon State does have a stellar forward in Kelsey Rees, but she will have to overpower Gakdeng just to get her shots off. I think the Tar Heels have this game decided early and win big.
Prediction: North Carolina 72, Oregon State 48
