This UNC-Providence pep band dance-off is March Madness at its best
They don't call it the Big Dance for nothing.
While the University of North Carolina and Providence basketball teams were battling it out on the court for a spot in the NCAA Tournament's Sweet 16 Saturday night, the Tar Heels and Friars pep bands were embroiled in an epic dance-off on the sidelines at halftime that was equally (if not more) thrilling.
Both sides were in it to win it. Check out this rhythmic action:
UNC leads Providence by 4, but their bands are tied at a million. #MarchMadness https://t.co/lUYoeXdyU3

While the one-seed UNC men's basketball team may have bested nine-seed Providence 85-66 to move on in the NCAA Tournament, the jury's still out on which team won this dance bracket. Providence has more synchronized movement, but UNC appears to have more heart:
This pep band dance off has been the best part of the game. @UNC clearly dominated. #MarchMadness #goheelsgoamerica pic.twitter.com/k7XQQobgS3

Judge for yourself which team comes out on top:
Not everything about pep bands in this tourney is March sadness.
