The North Carolina Tar Heels are getting ready to face Alabama in the Sweet 16 on Thursday night in Los Angeles, with the winner punching their ticket to the Elite 8.
North Carolina advanced by beating Wagner and Michigan State in Charlotte. The Crimson Tide took care of Charleston and then Grand Canyon. As North Carolina is getting set to play in another Sweet 16, the lights will be bright in Los Angeles. And arguably no one knows that better than a former Tar Heel.
To get fans ready for the game, former UNC basketball star James Worthy narrated a hype video centered on Los Angeles:

The video showcases the bright lights of Los Angeles as Worthy talks about his career with the Lakers as well as that 1982 title game. Worthy offers some advice for the current team who is looking to make a run of their own this season.
The winner of North Carolina and Alabama will face Clemson.
