In order to stare Montrezl Harrell in the face and beat him to the ball, you have to be a pretty bad man. Or in Brice Johnson's case, a mad man. That's exactly what fueled Johnson on Thursday afternoon.

With his team down nearly all of the first half and fighting for air in the second, Johnson was the Tar Heels' savior in their second ACC tournament game. Going against one of the most physical big men in the country, Johnson did it all.

The junior forward was disciplined in the first half by coach Roy Williams in front of a packed crowd in Greensboro Coliseum. After a mediocre performance for the first 20 minutes, he put up 18 of his 22 points in the second half to serve as the Heels' spark plug.

His inspiration for the effort down the stretch? That was simple, as he told Andrew Carter of The News & Observer:

On the opposite side stands a program which boasts the best defense in the conference all season long. Oh, did I say conference? Make that the entire country.

The Cavaliers rank 222nd in the country in scoring, but they also allow just 50.1 points per game in one of the most offensive-minded conferences in the NCAA. Malcolm Brogdon is the glue of the offense and defense for the Hoos, averaging 13.7 points per game.

Not only can he do it all on both ends, but Brogdon has a knack for hitting big shots, as Seth Davis of Sports Illustrated notes:

In the end, the Hoos will be dancing into another championship game against the same Duke team they defeated last season. Will the result be any different? That's a question that will be answered on Saturday with the tournament on the line.
