Mississippi Rebels vs North Carolina Tar Heels Point Spread Picks

North Carolina has a new lease on life after getting an NCAA bid when there was a question it would happen this season. The Tarheels' amazing comeback against Duke before falling short in the last seconds appears to have given them confidence as they routed San Diego State 95-68 on Tuesday in the First Four. RJ Davis scored 26 points and made all six 3-pointers as the Tarheels hit 14 from beyond the arc. Now they take on Mississippi, which has lost five of eight and was in danger of missing the tournament. The Rebels are on a 3-12 ATS run, and they shoot only 44.2 percent from the field and 34.1 percent on 3-point tries. North Carolina has won eight of its past 10 games, with both losses against Duke, and it has gone UNDER four of its past five games. The Tarheel defense will focus on Sean Padulla, who led the Rebels with a 14.9 scoring average in the regular season. Ole Miss has gone UNDER five of its past six against ACC teams. North Carolina has been a moneymaker lately, covering the spread in nine of 10 games, and it has held opponents under 60 points in three of its past six games. Take North Carolina and the UNDER.
