Former UNC star and winner of an NBA Championship with the Dallas Mavericks, Brendan Haywood, is going with his beloved Tar Heels to win it all this March Madness.

In an exclusive interview with BetOnline All Access, Haywood insists he's not being biased.

"I truly believe in this ball club," he said. "RJ Davis, one of the best guards in the country.  Armando Bacot can get it done inside a walking double double. 

"And let's not forget those two guys have experience in this tournament.  Just two years ago, they went on a magical run to the Championship game itself where they lost to Kansas so I think the theme of unfinished business combined with Coach Davis' coaching, the freshman Elliot Cadeau and the exactor Harrison Ingram are gonna have the Tars cutting down the nets this year."

UNC was seeing the most betting action early on to win the Championship at BetOnline.

They will play Wagner in the first round on Wednesday as a -24 favorite.
