North Carolina vs. Pittsburgh Predictions
North Carolina hasn’t lived up to the hype this season. After all, the Tar Heels entered the year as the top-ranked team in the country, and now they aren’t in the top 25. Still, UNC is playing better basketball while showing signs of rounding into form with six wins in its last seven games.
Meanwhile, Pittsburgh has been a surprise team in the ACC with plenty of quality wins against top opponents. This includes the Panthers’ most recent 71-68 win over No. 23 Miami on Saturday.
The highlights of Pittsburgh’s season have come at home. Now the Panthers need to prove it on the road, which has been elusive up to this point. That’s why Pitt checks in as a substantial underdog. However, the Panthers have proven that they can hang with some of the best teams in the country, and they are playing with confidence. Pitt already beat the Tar Heels 76-74 earlier this season, so it’s plausible to believe the Panthers can keep this one somewhat close on the road. Take Pittsburgh plus the points!
