Tennessee scored only 53 points while losing to Villanova on Saturday, bringing back fears that the Volunteers haven't solved their offensive problems that spoiled their season in 2020-21. Tennessee shot just 43.9% overall and 33.1% on 3-pointers and finished the season losing five of their last nine games. However, the Volunteers have held opponents to just a .357 field goal percentage their last two games, so they're doing well defensively, and they went UNDER by 17 points against the Wildcats. North Carolina looks to rebound from a loss to Purdue, which shot 55.7% against the Tar Heels, who had held their previous opponent, College of Charleston, to just a .364 shooting percentage. The UNDER is 16-5 in North Carolina's last 21 Sunday games, and the Tar Heels are 3-0-1 UNDER after giving up at least 90 points their previous game dating to last season. Take the UNDER.

North Carolina at Tennessee

These teams met last year as North Carolina pulled out a 73-71 victory, and it went UNDER by 10 points. The Tar Heels lost five key players from that championship team, but defensively they still are allowing only 71.1 points per game this season and a field goal percentage of only .401. Tennessee is even better allowing just a .383 shooting percentage and 65.6 points per contest. The Volunteers come off an 81-71 win over Lipscomb on Dec. 9 in a game that went UNDER as the Bison was held to 39.7 percent shooting. Grant Williams led Tennessee with 19 points and eight rebounds in his team's fourth straight win. North Carolina's one loss was against Michigan State when the Tar Heels scored only 45 points on 15 of 61 shooting. UNC is 9-3 UNDER after an ATS win and 5-1 UNDER its last six road games. Play the UNDER.
