A great day of ACC basketball will kick off with the North Carolina Tar Heels heading to Miami to take on the Hurricanes.
North Carolina Tar Heels
4th in the nation in points per game, North Carolina scores about 89.5 points per game. The Heels have a fantastic, fast-paced offense that can score a lot and has multiple players that can score at will.
The defense only gives up about 71 points per game, so a plus-18.5 point differential bodes well for this Tar Heels team. It’s a hard squad to bet against in any game.
[dfads params=’groups=226&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
Scoring-wise, the team is led by junior forward Justin Jackson. He’s averaging 18.5 points per game and shooting 46% from the field. In his last game against Virginia Tech, he had a great 26-point performance on 50% shooting.
Junior guard Joel Berry is the clear floor general of this team and a good one, at that.
He’s averaging 15.4 points per game on 48% shooting. He’s also shooting 43.5% from behind the arc and he’ll shoot those when he’s got space.
Look for Kennedy Meeks to be a force in the paint, grabbing key rebounds for the Heels. He grabs just under 10 rebounds per game.
Miami Hurricanes
What Miami does extremely well is play defense and limit scorers. The Canes give up just 62.7 points per game, putting them 17th in the nation in that category.
Miami is great at keeping opponents off of the glass.
The Hurricanes rank 15th in the nation in opponent’s total rebounds and it’s been a key part of winning games. Miami will have its hands full trying to keep UNC’s Kennedy Meeks from grabbing a lot of boards, but it’ll be crucial to do so and limit the Heels’ second chance points.
On offense, the Canes’ backcourt carries the brunt of the load.

Senior Davon Reed averages 15.5 points per game on 45% shooting. Junior Ja’Quan Newton is right behind him, averaging 15.1 points on 48% shooting.
Both Reed and Newton are extremely important for generating the Miami offense and if they can’t get going, it’s going to be tough for Miami to find a way to win.
CBB Betting Trends:
- North Carolina is 5-2 ATS in the last seven games
- Miami is 1-5 ATS in the last six games
Free North Carolina Tar Heels vs. Miami Hurricanes NCAAB Prediction:
North Carolina is one of the best offenses in the country, not to mention one of the best teams period. Miami has played some good games this year but doesn’t have the squad to beat this Heels team. UNC gets the W.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: North Carolina ATS
I’m taking the Heels money line in this one. With such a potent offense, North Carolina should win very easily.
