Showdown for Louisville & North Carolina, top teams in the ACC.

 

What are your thoughts and predictions? Can the Cards win on the road, at Chapel Hill?

 

Game is 9pm tonight on ESPN

Obviously would love to see Louisville win this, but I don't see them holding down that offense enough on the road to win. Cards will need that great shooting from Saturday to continue but hold down UNC, especially on the break. Tough ask.

 

Heels win it. Let's say 83-77.

North Carolina 79-74.

Tar Heels take this one by about 7.

I'd rather see UL pull this one out, but I think I am going with UNC.

At home I'd take the Cards but I think UNC wins tonight.

Mangok and Johnson are MASSIVELY important tonight. Mahmoud and Spalding are skinny and will definitely get pushed around a bit while they're out there. Cards will need Mangok and Johnson to do the heavy lifting on the boards and defending down low.

Cards will need Mangok

 

Welp... :lol2:

Welp... :lol2:

 

Can't ask him to be elite... just... good. UNC is the best rebounding team in the league. A lot of Louisville's success has come from offensive rebounding. The winner there will likely win this game.

The line on this game has ballooned from UNC -5 this morning to UNC -8.5. Makes me concerned that they know something I don't.

Go Cards!!

Carolina at home, give me Carolina. Haven't lost at home yet.

The line on this game has ballooned from UNC -5 this morning to UNC -8.5. Makes me concerned that they know something I don't.

 

You have NC by 6, the bettors by 8 1/2. I think you're on the same page.

 

I'll take the heels by 14.
