Why Consider betting on North Carolina?
Why bet on North Carolina in this contest? Because they’ve been playing better basketball than Florida State lately. North Carolina (8-5 ATS) has won two straight and eight of nine and comes into this contest off a hard-fought 73-69 win over Wake Forest on Saturday in their ACC opener. Joel Berry II hit a floater in the lane with 10.3 seconds left and North Carolina closed out the Demon Deacons on an 8-0 run to get the win. “It’s not a great positive message to them in the locker room,” head coach Roy Williams said, “because by golly, we’ve got to play smarter and we’ve got to play harder.”Team Statistics

Why Consider betting on Florida State?
Why bet on Florida State in this contest? Because believe it or not, Florida State is the better statistical team on both sides of the ball! Florida State (9-2 ATS) is coming off a 100-93 road loss to Duke on Saturday, although they easily covered the spread as an 11.5-point home underdog. Phil Cofer scored a career-high 28 points and Braian Angola finished with a career-best 23 for the Seminoles who shot nearly 45 percent from the field and drained15 three-pointers.
Angola’s 3 with just under 4 minutes remaining put them up 91-89, but they missed their final eight shots — six of which came from long range.
“I thought our kids were connected. We just didn’t have an answer for keeping Bagley and Carter off the glass,” coach Leonard Hamilton said. “They are such good athletes and have such great hands and timing and strength. … That made the difference in the game. When you have two guys like that, they make up for misses.”
