North Carolina vs Auburn Prediction

It’s going to be fun to see how Auburn and North Carolina respond after massive emotional comebacks yesterday. It could be a letdown spot for both teams. The Auburn Tigers have been the more impressive team up to this point, and they’ve been elite defensively. However, you’re just not going to get the North Carolina Tar Heels in the underdog role often this season, and there’s enough experience that you can rely on. The Lahaina Civic Center also seems to be flooded with UNC fans, which has made it feel like a home-court advantage. I want the points.
