NC State vs. North Carolina CBB Prediction:
Give me the Tarheels. The Wolfpacks miracle tournament run ends here and I don’t expect this game to be close. NC State will be playing there fifth game in as many days and fatigue is going to be a factor. North Carolina is defending at a high level and offensively they can attack in a number of ways. This game may stay close in the first half, but in the end UNC will pull away to win by this game by double digits.
