The set-up: Washington advanced with a convincing 78-61 win over Utah State in the first round. The Huskies average only 70.1 PPG this year, while UNC averages 86.1. However, the Tar Heels have looked sloppy of late and they actually trailed Iona at the half on Friday. Washington's defense looked impressive in the first round and I think we'll see a repeat performance here.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Washington is 3-1 ATS this year off an upset win as an underdog, while UNC is just 13-14 ATS in their last 27 when playing on a neutral court. Grab the points, expect a tight battle.
