Top teams always have a lot of interest in their games and the totals are most frequently padded with points in anticipation of the public's love for scoring teams and OVERs. North Carolina lost a lot of parts, and has a lot of talent on hand, but is very youthful and prone to lapses. While they were scoring big against some weak teams, they have scored 71 vs. Syracuse, 66 vs. Kentucky and 77 vs. Ohio State. Since ACC play has started, they average 71 in the two games. These numbers show the likelihood of the Heels topping off here in the 70s or less, leaving room for value on the UNDER. Tech has played six of their last seven vs. top teams, those that are .600+ to the under, and that is where the value is in this one, so I'll go UNDER here.
