When: noon today

Where: Philips Arena, Atlanta

TV/Radio: WRAL, ESPN2, WRDU-106.1, WCHL-1360

Player to watch: Kendall Marshall, G, UNC. The 6-foot-4 sophomore is a pass-first player who'd rather set up his teammates than look for his own shot.

Observation: Speaking of Marshall, keep an eye on how much he plays today. UNC coach Roy Williams has said that Marshall's fatigue is a concern entering the postseason. He has played 38 minutes in five of the Tar Heels' past nine games.
