The reason why I am already putting the Louisville Cardinals in the 2015 Final Four because of their dynamic guard play period. You will not find a better set than the "Cards Chris Jones and Terry Rozier and they are the reason the 'Cards and Team Pitino marched right into the Dean Smith Center thinking of nothing but the "W" along with every body's All-American Montrezl Harrell.

Well after the smoke cleared and House of Pain's 90s hit single "Jump Around" stopped glaring of the loud speakers the 'Heels had a 72-71 "W" only after the 'Cards missed a wide-open money ball and a 10 foot shot off glass to win the ball game.

It was UNC All-American Marcus Paige (10 pts 4-12 FG) with the game-winner but finally his teammates stepped up and helped him. Kennedy Meeks added a team-high 13 points and six boards with Brice Johnson going double double with 11 points and eleven boards.

The 'Cards had the game won as they led 63-50 with just under nine minutes to go as 'CArds senior Wayne Blackshear hit a money ball to give them the 13 point lead. UNC finally took the lead with :39 seconds remaining as Johnson put back a Paige miss for a 70-69 lead.

'Cards Guard Terry Rozier (25 pts) hit a step back baseline "J: with :26 seconds remaining to give Louisville its 71-70 lead only for Paige's game-0winner with nine seconds remaining. Chris Jones added 19 points along with Rozier's 25 to lead Louisville with "Black" dropping ten points.

UNC moves to 12-4 and 2-1 in the ACC as Louisville falls to 14-2 and 2-1 in the ACC with losses to Kentucky and now UNC. Louisville All-American Harrell added 9 points and grabbed five boards.
