In regards to Roy Williams, I predict that he will get in his infamous stance (pictured above) at least once in this matchup. Also, expect him to wear one of his trademark plaid blazers.

The Tar Heels will be hungry after losing a close matchup to their arch rival, Duke Blue Devils. N.C. State use to be a rival to UNC, until North Carolina extended the win column against the Wolfpack.

The Tar Heels will win, though do not expect another 51-point blowout. This game will be a lot closer. The Tar Heels will win by five to seven points.

Predicted score: 73-66 Tar Heels defeat Wolfpack
