When can a school with six national championships be considered an underdog? The Tar Heels, vanquishers of the defending champions, are the lowest seeded team still in contention, and they've set up a mouth-watering clash against their fiercest rivals.
The Blue Devils are preparing to send Mike Krzyzewski into retirement in style, but what a story it would be if the Tar Heels managed to stamp all over that fairytale vision, especially with rookie coach Hubert Davis running the show.
The Jayhawks are the last No.1 seed standing, and feel that they're owed a title after the tournament they looked destined to win had to be canceled two years ago. They face the Wildcats, who destroyed them at this very stage four years ago, and look formidable with their free throw accuracy.

How to watch March Madness 2022 from outside your country
If you've mismatched a holiday or you're away on business and you want to watch your country's coverage from abroad, then you'll need to use a VPN. This will help you dial in to a location back in your home country to avoid geo-blocks and regain access to the content and services you already pay for back home.
A VPN is generally perfect for this as it allows you to change your IP address so you appear to be in a completely different location when the big game is on.

March Madness predictions 2022
March Madness seedings mean something, it's just not always good. Only once have all four No.1 seeds made it to the Final Four, all the way back in 2008.
The curse of the reigning champions struck down once again this year, the Baylor Bears packing up early after falling to the North Carolina Tar Heels.
Florida were the last team to repeat all the way back in 2007, and in the past five tournaments now the defending champs have bowed out in either the first or second round.
Fellow top seeds Arizona and Gonzaga also went home with their tails between their legs, leaving Kansas as the only pre-tournament favorite still in with a shot at the title.
