Northern Iowa are in for a tough go vs UNC in this tournament and 12 points isn't enough for me to not back UNC. Northern Iowa have not played any competition relatively close defensively or offensively to UNC and Amando Bacot should have a field day in the post being that UNI are not comparable in the rebounding game, allowing 25 plus rebounds to inferior opponents (UNC average 40 rebounds a game so far!) Not much else to say but this is a mismatch opponent who can't score enough or defend well enough to stop UNC from dominating this game.

Official Play: UNC -12

Side Bet: Under 150
