WHAT TO WATCH

Mount St. Mary's coach Milan Brown made a tactical switch during the season, going to a more up-tempo style that triggered a big turnaround for his team.

Even though his Mountaineers will be playing the fastest-paced team in the country, Brown indicated he won't drastically modify the pace.

Ultimately, Brown figures the game will be won in the paint -- scoring and rebounding and on transition layups.

A No. 16 seed has never beaten a No. 1 seed, but Brown said, "We'll come with our rock and slingshot."

KEY PLAYERS

UNC point guard Ty Lawson (12.4 ppg, 5.5 apg) is still trying to get his footing back after missing six games with a sprained left ankle. The Mountaineers also have a speedster -- former Charlotte Providence Day star Jeremy Goode (14.5, 5.5), who competed against Lawson in two AAU games.

North Carolina is 5-1 in four previous NCAA Tournament appearances in Raleigh and is 21-1 in NCAA Tournament games played in North Carolina.
