What to watch for:

NCST – trends to watch
OFFENSE Needs to score 79 or more points – The Wake Forest game is an outlier, the Pack won scoring only 70 points. Otherwise, the Wolfpack scored 79 or more in every ACC win. (In ACC losses NC State scored 61 pts, 74 pts, 76 pts, 77 pts)
Q Needs Greater than 6 Assists – In the Miami, Louisville and UVA losses he had 5, 3, and 4 assists respectively, his 3 lowest assist totals in ACC play. Against Clemson, GT, and FSU he had 6 assists – we won 2, lost 1. Every other game he had at least 8.
NCST – record watch – McNeil has 81 made 3PT shots after 26 games. He’s averaging 3.1 per game, tracking for 96 in the regular season. DJ Horne’s record is 105 (88 reg. season, 17 post season)
Rebounding – “I think rebounding is the number one determining factor of an outcome of a game.“ Hubert Davis / Roy Williams / Matt Doherty / Bill Guthridge / Dean Smith / Frank McGuire ….
UNC – strengths – offense – 2^nd in ACC play in offense averaging 82.6 ppg, 5^th in FG%
UNC – weaknesses – defense – 11^th in ACC play in defense, allowing 77.9 ppg, 17^th in opponent allowed FG%, 18^th in opponent allowed 3PT%
UNC – strength – 2^nd in ACC play in assists
UNC – weaknesses – 12^th in ACC play in FT%, 13^th steals

Prediction:

Defense! UNC scored less than 70 points 3 times, losing 2 (Miami 66-75, MSU 58-74) and winning the Kentucky game 67-64.The Wolfpack hits the 79+ point goal and holds the Heels under 70. 80-69
