The NCAA Basketball National Championship: Who Ya Got?

After a month filled with madness and broken brackets, the game we've all been waiting for is finally here: the National Championship.

Monday night is looking to be a historic one yet again, as the repeat champs of the University of North Carolina look to defeat the top-seeded Gonzaga. Tipoff is scheduled for 9:20 p.m. ET in suburban Phoenix.

Gonzaga ended South Carolina’s Cinderella run in the 2017 NCAA Tournament with a 77-73 victory Saturday in the Final Four and North Carolina followed with a 77-76 win against Oregon.

This is Gonzaga's first appearance in the NCAA National Championship in school history.

North Carolina has won five NCAA championships, including two with Roy Williams as head coach (2005 and 2009).

Though the Tar Heels seem to be the popular favorite right now, don't count out Gonzaga just yet: they did have an undefeated record of 29-0 through the first half of the season and were ranked No. 1 in the nation's polls and placed above all others by every accepted major metric ranking system.

I just can't wait to see the game and the final outcome after such a crazy month of March. It's anybody's game.

Instagram, unlike Facebook, Twitter, and so on, is a photo-based social media platform.

To use the feature, you need to tap the ‘Select Multiple’ option first on the bottom of the photo or video you want to upload. From there, you can select the content you want to include; they’ll be numbered in the order th...
