The North Carolina Tar Heels play their home opener when they host the Chattanooga Mocs Sunday. Though UNC will more than likely win the affair, they may have some difficulties covering the spread at home if last season is any indication. UNC posted a poor 6-13-2 ATS record at Chapel Hill last season and covered in back-to-back home games just once.
- UNC has gone OVER in their past 5 games dating back to last season.
- Chattanooga covered in 6 of their final 9 road games last season.
- Kennedy Meeks went just 4-for-13 in UNC’s first game.
If the first game is any indication, Justin Jackson is ready to take on the extra weight that is thrust upon him entering the season. Jackson scored a career-high 27 points while shooting 9-for-12 including 4-for-5 from beyond the arc in UNC’s 95-75 victory over Tulane Friday.
Matt McCall has made Chattanooga road warriors during his brief tenure with the team, as the second-year coach has led the Mocs to a 12-4 SU record since taking over. That includes an 82-69 victory in Chattanooga’s season opener against Tennessee. The frontcourt duo of Tre’ McLean and Justin Tuoyo combined for 43 points and 21 rebounds in that game.
