These teams met last year as North Carolina pulled out a 73-71 victory, and it went UNDER by 10 points. The Tar Heels lost five key players from that championship team, but defensively they still are allowing only 71.1 points per game this season and a field goal percentage of only .401. Tennessee is even better allowing just a .383 shooting percentage and 65.6 points per contest. The Volunteers come off an 81-71 win over Lipscomb on Dec. 9 in a game that went UNDER as the Bison was held to 39.7 percent shooting. Grant Williams led Tennessee with 19 points and eight rebounds in his team's fourth straight win. North Carolina's one loss was against Michigan State when the Tar Heels scored only 45 points on 15 of 61 shooting. UNC is 9-3 UNDER after an ATS win and 5-1 UNDER its last six road games. Play the UNDER.
