North Carolina (2-0) is off a slow-down game with Holy Cross, but that's not their style. Uptempo Belmont comes to town averaging 81.3 ppg -- and that's fine with the Tar Heels! The Tar Heels are 7-3 ATS in their last 10 home games and 6-1 ATS following a spread loss. North Carolina head coach Roy Williams has a loaded, deep team and even their defense has been sharp: In the first two games, UNC opponents have shot just 12 for 56 from the floor in the first half (.214). Belmont (1-2) likes to run but doesn't have the horses in the paint against a team like North Carolina. Belmont lost to Richmond, 69-61, getting beat on the glass and comes off a wild comeback over Indiana State 96-95, down 49-33 at the half. The Bruins are 7-19 ATS in their last 26 games vs. a team with a winning record and 1-6 ATS in their last seven road games. And this is no easy place to play! Play North Carolina.
