Wake is good, they play with pace and they don’t give up. Late free throws will add points and make the difference. Over.

Eight straight wins, all by ten points or more, have pushed the Tar Heels into the top ten (and rising) in the best run for UNC under Hubert Davis since the dramatic March push two years ago. But the Heels haven't had a truly easy game in that stretch save the romp past Syracuse, and Wake Forest continues to impress, blowing out Louisville on Saturday and a winner in 11 of 13, with transfer Gs Hunter Sallis (ex-Gonzaga; 17.7 ppg) and Kevin Miller (17.4 ppg; ex-CMU) pacing a potent 81.1 ppg offense for Steve Forbes. On a 7-3-1 spread run, and none of the five SU losses by more than seven points, the Deacs present a compelling case on Tobacco Road. Play Wake

North Carolina and Wake Forest are two of the Big Four in the State of North Carolina. The Big Four are also part of Tobacco Road, all within 25 miles of each other in the tobacco research capital of the world. Back to basketball... These two teams can score and can score in bunches. Both teams average more than 80 points per game..Wake Forest is 8-1 over their last 9 nine games and all five of their last meetings went over. Over for two units.

The Tar Heels are 7-1 ATS over their last eight games. Hubert Davis' team is very experienced, they have great continuity and have bought into playing team defense. Wake Forest is on a 7-2 ATS run however on the road they are 1-2 straight up and ATS. My model has the Tar Heels by 13.

There is plenty of skill on the floor tonight in Chapel Hill, and unlike some of UNC's recent foes, Wake Forest isn't likely to try and slow the pace. Not with an 81 ppg offense fueling a current 8-1 "over" run featuring transfer Gs Hunter Sallis (17.7 ppg) and Kevin Miller (17.4 ppg), whose scoring production has hardly waned this season. As one of the better shooting teams in the nation (nearly 48% from the floor and better than 39% beyond the arc), the Deacs want to turn every game into a sprint, and too much skill (RJ Davis, Andrew Bacot, etc) on the UNC side to not match points.
