North Carolina at Kentucky

A pair of blue-bloods will meet tonight as #16 North Carolina takes on #18 Kentucky. This game will have value come tourney time, as it will be a quality win for one of these teams. The Cats need to step things up as they have upcoming games against Gonzaga, Indiana, and St. John's. They shot just 35% against Michigan St., and were never really in the game. Since the start of last season, North Carolina has struggled against good shooting teams that make 45% or more of their shots. The Heels have been woeful in this spot at 8-15 ATS. Kentucky is 8-2 on the moneyline since last season, with totals in the 160s. I like Kentucky on the moneyline.
