UNC has had some high-scoring shootouts, going 37-35 against FSU and 37-36 against Pitt. The Heels should definitely score points in this game, the question is can Tech move enough on them. The Heels really struggle against the run, so I suspect the Yellowjackets should be able to find their fair share of points. They have scored at least 34 points in three straight. Look for that to continue as UNC and Tech hit the over.
