Prediction

Davidson has gotten most of their wins this season against lesser competition. Jack Gibbs is good and without Joel Berry the Tar Heels will have some point guard issues. However, UNC is playing focused and they are definitely not the level of competition that Davidson has been playing this season.

Final Score: 93-72 UNC over Davidson. Better teams usually win at home and UNC is definitely the better team. Davidson will keep it close for most of the first half. However, Nate Britt or Seventh Woods steps up as Joel Berry’s court replacement and the Heels roll in the second half.
