Tulane at North Carolina

This is a high total because of North Carolina's uptempo reputation, but Tulane is playing well with only one defeat. Tulane is doing it with defense, allowing 59 or fewer points in three of the last four games. They won't get into a running match with the Tar Heels, and the Green Wave has gone five straight games UNDER the total. North Carolina played three games in four days at the PK80 Invitational in Portland last week and take on the Green Wave after knocking off Michigan 86-71 on Wednesday, and outlasting Davidson 85-75 on Friday. Teams like UNC playing with one or fewer days of rest where the total is between 159 and 169.5 points in a contest involving teams with 80% winning percentages or better, those games go 40-16 UNDER the total. With North Carolina 14-5-1 UNDER the total after a victory, look for less scoring than oddsmakers anticipate. Play the UNDER in this game.
