The set-up: Two teams hungry for wins collide and I believe that points will be plentiful. UNC is tied with Virginia for the conference lead. The Tar Heels enter on top form having won five straight. Overall UNC averages 87.1 points, while allowing 73.3. The Eagle are in tenth spot in the conference, but they won't be going down without a fight today as they look to pull off the upset and to play spoiler. Overall the Eagles average 71.9 PPG and they allow 72.3.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well though, but UNC has seen the total go "over" the number in four of five this season off a no-cover where the team won SU as a favorite, while BC has seen the total soar "over" in nine of its last 12 as an underdog. This number is low, play the "over."
