North Carolina and Long Beach State have played some close games in recent history. The last time these two teams met in Chapel Hill, the Tar Heels only won by six. However, the Heels are 3-0 against the 49ers since 2010.

Final Score: 92-71 UNC over Long Beach State. UNC has hit 90 in their first two games. Long Beach State is lacking in size. In addition to the short front players, they have short guards too. Three of their guards are 6’0 or shorter. North Carolina only has one such player and Joel Berry is a tall 6’0. The Tar Heels should be able to own the glass and let their post players eat.
