North Carolina looks to win consecutive games, while Syracuse looks to get back in the win column on Tuesday.
Take the over. When these two teams met one month ago in Chapel Hill they combined for 170 total points, I expect a similar outcome tonight. Both of these teams like to play quick and shoot the three ball. Syracuse has allowed 99,94 and 77 points to their last three opponents, UNC should have no issues offensively, while Syracuse is efficient on offensive on their home court. This is going be up and down for 40 minutes, over is the play.
