North Carolina vs. Clemson CBB Prediction:
UNC looks to win their fourth straight contest, while Clemson looks to get back in the win column after dropping to Miami.
Give me the Tarheels. The Heels didn’t look great at Pittsburgh last game out and definitely didn’t shoot the ball well, however they still grabbed a fairly comfortable road victory. UNC has played tough competition this year and have shown they can compete and just about beat any team in the country. The Tarheels are the better team here, they cover, if not win outright from Littlejohn.
