North Carolina is coming into this game with an 8-5 record this season and they are 1-0 in the conference. They went through a very tough stretch when they played in one of the Hawaii tournaments, but they have been playing much better in their recent games now. They have won their last 2 straight as well as 4 of their last 5 games with their only loss in that span coming in a neutral location against a 13-0 Florida team that has been on fire to start the season. They have a quality win against UCLA in that span as well, and they have only played 2 road games this season but were great in both. They have a 3 point loss on the road to Kansas, but their last road game was an 18 point win against Hawaii. They are going up against a Louisville team that is 8-5 this season and they are 1-1 in the conference. They have won their last 2 straight games, but they are coming off of a 2 point win at home against Eastern Kentucky in a game they struggled to win. They have not played great at home recently as they have lost 2 of their last 4 games there, losses coming against Duke and Ole Miss, and their 2 wins were against Eastern Kentucky by 2 points and UTEP by 3 points. Now they are playing a much better UNC team that is looking to regain their ranking in the top 25 and they are going to get up for this game to stay undefeated in the conference. Louisville has been awful with their shooting this season, both from the field and the perimeter, while UNC has been great from the field. UNC is also a top 80 team in the country when it comes to rebounding so they have a big advantage in this game. North Carolina will cover the spread in this game.
