North Carolina always leaves thoughts of big-time players and big-time offense, and playing at a break neck pace. That always jumps the totals in their games, especially after playing a pair in the 90s to open the 2016 season. What is missing from the equation is the defense they have played, with both of their first two opponents failing to shoot even 35%. Long beach State managed to score just 55 points against Wichita State and were held to 31.2% shooting. After seeing the Heels get after it on the defensive end in their first two games, there is no reason to think they won't shutdown the 49ers attack in much the same way the Shockers did. As a result, getting OVER a total well into 160s will be a difficult challenge. Make the play on the UNDER.
