California at North Carolina

Premium Pick

North Carolina was expected to be one of the teams that could cut down the nets in the NCAA Tournament, but the Tar Heels are just 11-6 on the season and they have a rather thin scoring margin of just six points per contest. They will host the California Golden Bears tonight who will come into the game at 8-8 on the season. The Bears matchup offensively very well with the Tar Heels as they have managed to score 77 PPG, but Carolina has been the better defensive team. North Carolina is playing well under the line at 3-10 ATS in their last 13, and has not had more than a 16 point win in any game since December 14. I think the Bears can hang around here and get the cover. Make the play on California.
