We all think the same thing with this game, that North Carolina really will dominate this Wagner team here, but it’s not a game or team they can underestimate. In the last game North Carolina faced off against NC State and they ended up losing 84-76. RJ Davis has a strong game putting up 30 points, six rebounds, and four assists. North Carolina is averaging 81 points while their defense is giving up 70 points per game. RJ Davis is averaging 21.4 points while shooting 43.1 percent from the field and 40.6 percent from behind the three point line. Can they roll here or maybe get some jitters for the opener!

Wagner faced off against Howard on Tuesday and they almost blew the game late. At halftime they were up 38-27 but in the second half they were outscored 41-33. Melvin Council Jr had a strong game putting up 21 points, seven assists, and five rebounds. Wagner is averaging 63 points while their defense is giving up 62 points per game. Wagner’s offense needs to run up the score if they want any chance to keep this game close. Melvin Council Jr is averaging 15 points while shooting 39% from the field. Can these boys pull off a massive upset or get dominated!?

💎 UNC TEAM TOTAL OVER 79.5 -115

💎 Harrison Ingram PRA Over 23.5 -120

I'm not sure how far UNC will actually go in the Tournament but I am pretty sure that this North Carolina team is going to flex their muscle and have a huge game. North Carolina is averaging 81 points per game and Wagner is averaging only 64 points per game and thats a problem for Wagner when playing this UNC offense. I simply don't believe that this team has enough offense to keep this game close. I can easily see Wagner not getting over 65 points and I think North Carolina runs away quick in this game and I expect to see close to 100 points from this squad today! .
