North Carolina and Maryland to butt heads
Coming off a disappointing 91-85 loss in their last game, Maryland has a chance to get on the winning track Thursday at home. Both teams have just five losses on the season.
North Carolina brings a 12-5 overall mark (3-3 in the conference) into this game versus a Maryland team carrying a 14-5 record.
The Terrapins are favored slightly by the bookmakers, who opened the game at 2.5. Early totals are set at a high 160.
Roy Williams's troops hosted Arizona last game and came away with an 86-69 win. Oddsmakers had them as 3.5 point favorites in that one.
The Terrapins, meanwhile, will try to forget a 91-85 loss at the hands of the Owls, a game which was off the board for bettors.
This game is likely to come down to the Terrapins's execution on offence. They rank 3rd in the league in scoring and look to sustain their 82.7 points per game average against the Tar Heels's lowly rated defense.
