Texas at North Carolina

The Texas Longhorns have snuck into the top 25 at #25, while the Tar Heels are hungry for a big win with a young but very talented team. The Tar Heels got a confidence booster with a big win over Kentucky and should be ready to step up in this one. The Horns have split their two high level games on the season, but were also pounded by 17 by USC, so they certainly can be had here. This one should be close, as expected, and the Horns have several players that struggle from the line which could cost the few points that make a difference. Carolina has the strength edge in the paint. I like North Carolina on the moneyline.
