The set-up: The Tar Heels look poised for a letdown here after their 75-69 hoe win over Notre Dame in my opinion as they hit the road to face a Hurricanes side which posted a 76-65 home win over Wake in its latest action. The Tar Heels were blown out by Louisville in their pervious contest, but Luke Maye posted 14 points and ten boards to help UNC back into the winners circle. Note thought that Two of the Tar Heels four losses have come against ranked opponents. UNC comes in averaging 87.4 PPG, while allowing 73.2. Miami Florida was led by Chris Lykes in its latest win with 25 points. The Hurricanes are 7-2 at home. Overall they average 76.5 PPG, while allowing 70.1.

The pick: Take it for what you will though, but UNC is still just 12-15 ATS in its last 27 on the road and just 6-9 ATS in its last 15 after failing to cover the spread in two or more straight games, while Miami Florida is 3-1 ATS in its last four following a conference contest. Grab the points, expecting "nail-biter."

8* Miami
