Kansas vs North Carolina Prediction
North Carolina is getting the edge because of home court, but the value is with Kansas and the free bucket. Kansas won’t be an underdog often this season. Also, Kansas has beaten UNC every time they square off, which includes a win last November. Both teams have an elite recruit and there’s size down low. This game will come down to who can dictate styles more. UNC wants to push the pace and live in transition, while Kansas wants to slow things down in the half court. Can make a case either way, as these are two teams that can make a run in March. I want the points.
