Oklahoma State vs. North Carolina

This should be a terrific battle of unbeatens on no rest, which will mean intense defense. Oklahoma State likes to run under new coach Brad Underwood, but they can play defense, too, getting 13 first half steals yesterday in a win over UConn. Oklahoma State is on a 10-4 run UNDER the total and won't find the going easy on offense against the Tar Heels and their imposing front line. UNC has allowed 57, 67, 68 and 61 points the last four games with a deep frontcourt that ranks among the best in the country. North Carolina allowed 36% shooting yesterday and has gone six straight games UNDER the total after a win of more than 20 points. Both teams had to play yesterday and this is the third game in four nights for North Carolina. This one stays UNDER.
