UNC comes off a beatdown of BC and Ville comes off getting trounced at home by Virginia. This game is huge for both teams as a win for UNC would put them 3 games ahead of the ACC and basically put a choke hold on the regular season championship barring a complete meltdown. For Ville it would keep its #2 place in the ACC race and close the gap with UNC to 1 game as well as earning them the important tie breaker incase they finish with the same record. Needless to say a huge game.
This is an interesting matchup as prior to league play UNC had some trip ups on the road, although the Tarheels have went 3-0 on the road in the ACC. Ville had defended it's home court until Saturday leaving them with a 3-1 home record in conference play. Although both these teams have yet to really play the meat of their ACC schedule.
I have anticipated this game for the whole week waiting to see the line, I figured UNC would be favored by a handful of points. I get that Ville had a nice winning streak going and they have been tough at home but stacking their schedule up it is pretty weak. Their tournament resume has 1 quality win to Pitt at home and that win is looking less impressive as the days pass. Ville record against teams that have spent this whole season ranked is 0-3.
At the end of the day I see the same thing playing out in this one. As I don't think Ville has enough firepower to go the distance with the Tarheels even with this being a home game for Louisville.
UNC +1
Got this early as I expect UNC will be laying points by tip time
GL, should be a good game
