UNC did not look overly sharp against Davidson. Roy even went to a minor version of Blue Steele early after the Wildcats took an early seven point lead. The game is at home and with Roy not happy in Wednesday’s results, expect a much crisper and motivated Tar Heel team.

Final Score: 96-81 UNC over Tennessee. Tennessee’s rebounding could be a huge deciding factor. The Volunteers are also young and energetic. Look for the Vols to try to run with the Tar Heels early and as UNC pulls away try to slow things down. Carolina gets a few more kinks out of their backup point guard system and gets ready for Kentucky.
