Two former Atlantic Coast Conference rivals battle on Tuesday as Maryland takes on North Carolina in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. Maryland is 6-0 and coming off an 80-63 win over Cleveland State as the Terrapins shot the lights out at 58.0 percent, including 7-of-14 from three-point range. Robert Carter led with 17 points and Jared Nickens added 16 points. The Vikings shot nearly 53 percent which means the Terps will need to focus on defense in this encounter against a much tougher team. North Carolina shook off an upset loss at Northern Iowa to win its next two games, including 80-70 against Kansas State as the Tar Heels held the Wildcats to just 40.3 percent from the field. Justin Jackson led UNC with 22 points and Brice Johnson pulled down 10 rebounds. North Carolina is holding opponents to a .397 field goal percentage compared to 42.3 percent for the Terps. Look for Maryland to cool off after its hot shooting in its last game. The Tar Heels are 8-2 to the UNDER their last 10 games against the Big 10 and 5-1 UNDER following a loss dating to last season. Play the UNDER.
