In my second March Madness play of the day we go to the late window for a much more tightly handicapped matchup between the Tar Heels and the Bruins.UNC has been on a great run and coming off an upset over the heavily favored Baylor Bears.
I lean to the Tar Heels here even though the Bruins have upgraded Jaquez Jr. has been upgraded to probable for tonight for them.
With that being said, let’s look a little further into this matchup for an edge shall we?
North Carolina Tar Heels
The Tar Heels are playing out of their minds right now offensively. They also play a pretty gutty style of play that is tough for teams to defend.
They are shooting 45% from the field, 36.5% from beyond the arc and 77% from the charity stripe, all an edge over the Bruins in this one who are slight favorites as we see above.
They also out rebound the Bruins by a decisive 4% margin.
UCLA Bruins
On the flip side of that same coin, the Bruins defensive unit takes the cake in this game. They give up an average of 64 points per game which is hard to win a game with in March.
The Tar Heels are going to need to drive the rack as much as possible and look for fouls whenever they can to fill the bucket.
