Virginia at North Carolina

The North Carolina Tar heels are off a real bad loss vs. their archrival Duke, in a game that saw the Blue Devils win it on an impossible 3-point shot at the buzzer by freshman Austin Rivers. It will be difficult for the Heels to muster the energy here vs. an opponent that plays at a very high level. Virginia is amongst the best defensive teams in the nation, and taking doubles here vs. a North Carolina team off a huge emotional game is certainly laden with value. The Cavaliers are 19-4 and are in every game they play. Their biggest loss of the season has been by 3 points, and they bring to the table a 14-2 ATS mark in their last 16 as a road dog. They are also 3-0-1 in Chapel Hill their last four. Play on Virginia.
