North Carolina Tar Heels, ranked #4, play NC State Wolfpack, ranked 10th, on Saturday night.

The Tar Heels have won both games this season, including the most recent one on March 2 at home by a score of 79–70. They have a 120–59 lead in the all-time series between the two teams.

NC State Wolfpack Betting Prediction

First, we have the NC State vs North Carolina Betting prediction for the Wolfpack.

Unfortunately for NC State, they lost four games in a row and seven of their last nine games, which meant they finished as the #10 seed in the conference. Since then, the Wolfpack have won four games in a row, beating Louisville, Syracuse, Duke, and Virginia. Their overall record is now 21-14, and they were 9-11 in ACC play during the regular season. NC State had a 20-point lead at one point in the first half against Virginia but ended up tied 29–29 at halftime.

The Wolfpack were down by seven points with 4:18 left in the game and by six points with 52 seconds left in regulation. But, a banked three-pointer with one second left tied the game. NC State was down by one point in OT with 2:02 left, but they scored the last nine points to win. After making three of seventeen three-point shots, the Wolfpack made 15 of 16 free throws, while Virginia only made six of eleven. This helped the Wolfpack win. DJ Burns Jr. scored 19 points to help NC State win.

With 76.2 points per game this year, the Wolfpack are 104th in the country in terms of attack. There are 34.9 boards per game for NC State, which ranks 198th in the country. They also give out 12.9 assists per game. The Wolfpack’s defense is just okay. They allow 72.8 points per game, which ranks them 213th in the country. Four Wolfpack players are scoring over 10 points per game this season. Casey Morsell is one of them. Every game, Jayden Taylor (12.5 points, 4 boards), DJ Burns Jr. (12 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists), and DJ Horne (16.8 points) score at least ten points.

They also have Dennis Parker Jr., Michael O’Connell, Mohammed Diarra, Ben Middlebrooks, and Breon Pass, who are all very important to NC State. This year, the Wolfpack have made 44.6% of their shots from the field. NC State makes 7.2 three-pointers every night, which is 34.9 percent of their shots from beyond the line. The Wolfpack make 72.8% of their free throws this season, which is above average for a team their size.

North Carolina Tar Heels Betting Prediction

Now we have the NC State vs North Carolina Betting prediction for the Tar Heels.

In the regular season, North Carolina won the title. Now, after beating Pitt for the eighth straight time, they are trying to add the conference playoff title to their list of titles. Overall, the Tar Heels are now 27-6. During the regular season, they were 17-3 in ACC play. When they played Pitt, North Carolina was behind by as many as nine points in the first half, but by halftime, they were only two points behind. At 15:43, the Tar Heels were behind by two points. But at 13:38, they went on an 8-0 run that put them ahead 48-42. Pitt tied the game again, this time at 62 with 4:25 left, but North Carolina scored seven straight points to take the lead for good. After making six of 22 three-point shots, the Tar Heels hit 43.3% from the field and had a 44-34 edge on the boards during the game. North Carolina won with 25 points from RJ Davis.

In terms of attack, the Tar Heels are 20th in the country. They score 81.6 points per game on average this season.

They give up an average of 69.8 points per game, which ranks them 117th in scoring defense. This season, RJ Davis has scored 21.1 points per game, which is the most for North Carolina.

It’s been a good season for Armando Bacot (14 points, 10.1 rebounds), Harrison Ingram (12.2 points, 9.2 rebounds), and Cormac Ryan (11.3 points, 2.9 boards). They all score in double figures and help the team. A lot of people think that Elliott Cadeau, Seth Trimble, Jalen Washington, Jae’Lyn Withers, and Paxson Wojcik will give coach Hubert Davis important minutes.

NC State vs North Carolina Betting Pick

After having a rough last month of the season with four wins in a row, NC State has changed things around. That’s the end of the good news for the Wolfpack. This season, they lost both games against the Tar Heels, including one in Chapel Hill not long ago. Because NC State doesn’t have the size to bang down low with Ingram and Bacot, the Tar Heels will have an even bigger edge in rebounds. Davis is the best player on the court and in the conference. He wears Tar Heel blue. The carriage turns into a pumpkin for NC State as the clock hits midnight. They are lucky to be here at all. By beating them here, North Carolina wins the conference tournament.
