NCAA Basketball Betting - Tar Heels March into the Desert
by BetUS Staff
The No. 4 Arizona Wildcats (14-5) for a great non-conference matchup Saturday afternoon, where the Tar Heels are 9-1 ATS (against the spread) in their last ten road games. As well, the Tar Heels are 8-0 ATS in their last eight non-conference games. Arizona has also profited outside of the conference where they are a perfect 5-0 ATS in their last five non-conference games.
Both clubs are coming off cover wins, as North Carolina rocked Arizona State 71-47 on Wednesday. The large margin of victory may play a role at the ticket counter when these two collide. The Tar Heels are 20-6 ATS in their last 26 games following a SU (straight up) win of more than 20 points, but the Wildcats are 2-5 ATS in their last seven games following a SU win of more than 20 points.
Home cookin' has not helped Arizona investors this season. The Wildcats are 1-4 ATS in their last five home games. Arizona's forward, Marcus Williams, is second in scoring in the PAC 10 with 18.1 points per game and, if Williams doesn't have a big game, the Wildcats will have another money-dropping afternoon in front of the home folks. Forward Ivan Radenovic, the Wildcats' second leading scorer with 16 points per game, will also need a big game.
Key players to watch for North Carolina are forwards Tyler Hansbrough and Brandan Wright, who are averaging 33.6 points per game. If this tandem goes off, the Tar Heels most likely cover in this one.
North Carolina's offense has put under players at the ticket window often, with twelve of seventeen games playing below the total. As well, the under is 9-1 in the Tar Heels last ten games following a SU win of more than 20 points. The under is 5-1 in Tar Heels' last six non-conference games. The Wildcats also support the under, with four consecutive non-conference contests dipping below the total.
There's a lot of support favoring the Tar Heels and the under in this one. Numbers don't lie, so get down now on this great game and watch your bankroll flourish.
