Defending champion North Carolina will begin their quest for a repeat as NCAA champions when they take on Cinderella story Maryland-Baltimore County in Sunday’s NCAA Tournament second round action.

The Tar Heels are the No. 9 seed in the tournament, but are still among the picks to potentially win it all, and they will need to knock off a UMBC side riding high after their penalty kick shootout victory against Old Dominion in the first round.

The match-up of the second round is arguably Georgetown’s match-up against returning NCAA finalist Charlotte. The Hoyas enter the tournament as the No. 3 overall seed, and freshman Brandon Allen has been one of the best strikers in the nation this year, but Charlotte is a dangerous side more than capable of pulling out the victory in Washington on Sunday.

Another match-up that should feature plenty of fireworks is Wake Forest’s match-up against Coastal Carolina. The No. 15 seed Demon Deacons boast a dangerous attack led by sophomore forward Sean Okoli, but junior midfielder Pedro Ribeiro leads a Chanticleer attack that is fresh off an impressive 3-0 victory against Elon in the first round (the same Elon team that handed Wake Forest  defeat just three weeks ago).

One of the better match-ups of the day features No. 1 seed Notre Dame taking on Big Ten champions Michigan State in South Bend. The Fighting Irish beat the Spartans in September, 2-0, but Michigan State enters Sunday’s match on a roll, having won their past four matches.
