This is a long road trip for North Carolina to the West Coast. The Tar Heels haven't been tested yet, but face a Stanford team that matches up well in the frontcourt. North Carolina is 11-3-1 UNDER the total after a straight up win, plus 11-4 UNDER against the Pac 12. Stanford's offense hasn't been impressive thus far, losing to Eastern Washington and having some difficulty putting away Pacific and Northeastern, but the defense has allowed 62, 67, and 59 points in three of its four contests. Stanford is led by a strong frontcourt as Reid Travis (21.3 points per game, 6.8 rebounds per game) and Michael Humphrey (12.8 points per game, 12.3 rebounds per game) are putting up big numbers. Stanford is 14-5 UNDER the total after a spread cover, as well as 10-3 UNDER in non-conference games, so look for more defense than offense in this big test for both squads. Play this game UNDER.
