Right now, I'm watching the North Carolina Tar Heels vs. the Washington Huskies, and what an Olympic-level track meet it is. The shot clock has never been in serious jeopardy, and I'm not even sure it has ever gotten to 15 seconds. You can follow both these teams at their respective SB Nation blogs, Carolina March and UW Dawg Pound.

The Texas Longhorns and Arizona Wildcats should be another very interesting matchup, and their respective blogs are Burnt Orange Nation and Arizona Desert Swarm. Kentucky fans, of course, will also be interested in the Ohio St. Buckeyes vs. the George Mason Patriots. The Ohio State blog on SBN is Along the Olentangy.
