College basketball odds, picks and predictions for NC State [Nickname 1] vs North Carolina [Nickname 2]. NCAAB betting free pick and best bet analysis.
UNC came out flat against Pitt, but with a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament on the line, our college basketball picks are tabbing the favorites to bring the fight to NC State and decisively take the ACC crown.
The Wolfpack have been able to capitalize on an inside-out effort, working hard for points around the rim and then kicking it out to open shooters when the defense collapses. North Carolina, unfortunately, has one of the best defenses — inside and out — in the entire country. On offense, the Heels are a handful, especially for a team running on fumes like North Carolina State. North Carolina can push pace, playing the third-fastest tempo in the ACC and presenting a major shift in gears compared to NC State’s last two foes. That stingy defense quickly gets flipped into easy buckets as UNC is one of the best transition attacks in the land.
The majority of game models are calling for between an eight and nine-point win from the Tar Heels. And if we’ve learned anything from yesterday’s seven-point margin , we want to get the best of the number. The Tar Heels were wire-to-wire dominant against Florida State in the quarterfinals but started slow in the semifinals, falling down quickly to Pitt and needing the opening 25 minutes to even up the scoreboard.
The Wolfpack have put together one of the most memorable runs in ACC tournament history, winning four straight as a No. 10 seed, including a quarterfinal victory over Duke. North Carolina State has covered in three of those four tournament wins, but faces a UNC squad that beat it twice this season.
