Syracuse at North Carolina

North Carolina likes to run, but Syracuse is very good at slowing teams down with that 2-3 zone. Syracuse slowed it down the last game in a 66-62 loss to Miami on Saturday allowing 41% shooting. The 2-3 zone will give Syracuse a good chance to slow down the Tar Heels. For all of its depth and talent, North Carolina possesses a very week perimeter game. The Tar Heels have just one reliable 3-point shooter, Marcus Paige. The junior point guard has made 38 percent of his 3-point attempts (48 out of 126) this season. The rest of the Tar Heels have combined to go 43-for-160 from outside the line. That's a .268 percentage. So if they focus on containing/attacking Paige, the Orange can contain the UNC offense. Play this one UNDER the total.
