In a game from NCAA Basketball, we will see North Carolina at NC State.
Betting Prediction:
Even though the Tar Heels have 11 wins on their resume so far, their season is still regarded as inconsistent because they also have 3 losses. They won their previous 3 games and are coming off an 85-60 road win over Pittsburgh. North Carolina shot just 43% but limited the opposition to 30% shooting and this led to the win. The team is scoring 89.9 points per game while allowing 72.1 points.
NC State is having a better season than most people expected. The team has just 1 loss and it is now on a 7-game winning streak. They are just coming off an 87-82 road win over Miami Florida in a game where Markell Johnson scored 20 points on 6 for 8 shooting. Torin Dorn is the team’s leading scorer with 14.5 points per game and 6.5 rebounds per game. The Wolfpack are currently 10-0 at home.
The Tar Heels rebounded from the Kentucky loss and won each of their next 3 games while allowing less than 60 points. They are just on a roll at the moment and given the fact that the Wolfpack almost lost to Miami Florida, I expect the Tar Heels to get a solid road win.
