UNC is playing better ball than Vegas is giving it credit for right now. The Tar Heels are 9-1 in their last 10, their only loss coming at Duke (by six points). Maryland is 3-3 in its last six games, but is 0-8 against the RPI top 50.

It would be Maryland's best win of the season (by a wide margin), and UNC's RPI is currently #11. The Terps are 3-3 on the road in ACC play, with the three wins coming against Georgia Tech, Wake Forest and Virginia (a combined 9-33 conference record).

Terps coach Gary Williams has taken four of the last five games against UNC, but that was with a completely different team (gone are the top three scorers from last year, two of which were 1,000-point scorers and one of which was a 2,000-point scorer).

Simply put, UNC should be about a 9-point favorite tonight. I'm playing UNC -6 large.

Bump for anyone trying to get on a late game.

[loudpacmanjones]

I'm in. Not too confident but I'm in either way.

[slatter]

I follow the Terps extremely closely, and have watched every game of theirs since 2004. This is the most predictable bunch: beat crappy teams, play good teams close but always come up short. And don't play well on the road. UNC should win this by 10.

[loudpacmanjones]

I might do a first half play... You think unc gets away at the end of the first?

[homerbush]

Seems to easy which usually means avoid but screw it I am on it as well

I know maryland ball and the under 148 is a lock.

Yeah, if you don't mind the juice I think the Terps are probably trailing by ~4 at the end of the first.

[jboy4]

Lets cash this baby. Im on UNC.

[slatter]

And by "the juice" I meant playing the UNC 1H ML.

[slatter]

Heels up 6 early. Barnes is 3-4 from 3-point range.

[Foggy]

Terps will win. They have beaten NC 4 of the last 5 times...

[dvnyc]

Need the over...don't care who wins!!

[thfootball]

Froggy or groggy not sure but your mind is in the clouds. So please be a little more careful on your predictions P

[slatter]

Heels up 10 with 2 minutes left in the first half.

[mjslovin]

great thread. took UNC thanks to the OP, looking good so far. thought about a first half play but didn't pull the trigger.

Why do I need to be more careful? As this is my team I have no bet on it and my comment was made well after game start...

[slatter]

Heels lead by 12 at the half.

[loudpacmanjones]

Cashed in on the first half. Cheers.


Now on to the 2nd.

[slatter]

UNC up 13 midway through the second half.

[slatter]

UNC wins by 11.

Lost on Tennesse Tech yesterday my biggest bet and was angered, then chose Cincy today and lost.

looked a the score when Maryland was 8 behind, walked away and fretted. Came back went to my gambling site and checked my money account, thought it was down to the last $25, but it wasn't, got it back up with a small $50 parlay. Straight up--marquette, wiscon--cover--tar heels. Wuuf. scary. Won't be long before its zero.

Usually i bet 2-10 bucks.
