ESPN Sweet 16 Power Rankings

The March to Motown blog at ESPN.com released their Sweet 16 Power Rankings and third round predictions. Though a bunch of their personalities picked UNC to win it all, this is the first definitive post I've seen in a while that indicates they believe the Heels to be the team to beat. A spritz:

1. North Carolina
The Tar Heels struggled to pull away from LSU in their second-round game, but point guard Ty Lawson more than answered questions about his lingering toe injury. Unless Lawson re-injures his right toe, the Tar Heels might be the team to beat the rest of the way. No other team has as much inside-outside balance or overall depth.

And against Gonzaga:

North Carolina 87, Gonzaga 73
