Temple proved to be no match for North Carolina -- being dismantled 91-57 in the season opener. On Sunday, Fairfield will look to put up a better fight in the Tar Heels' season home opener.
Even without Marcus Paige -- who is still recovering from a broken hand -- North Carolina has no shortage of weapons. Kennedy Meeks, Brice Johnson and Isaiah Hicks form an interior front line that will test Fairfield's size.
Kentucky Not The Favorite To Win The Men's Championship
Expect this to be a simple contest. Fairfield finished 7-24 last season and opened 2015 with a 13 point loss to Yale.

This, I believe, is the fast-break offense that Roy Williams envisioned when he took over at #UNC.
