Davidson Has Been Unable to Beat ACC Opponents

Upset-minded Davidson will travel to Chapel Hill to take on a UNC squad that has yet to lose at home this season. Aside from the obvious struggles that are present playing a powerhouse Tar Heels team, Davidson has always struggled against the ACC, losing its past 14 against the conference.

Shark Bites
  • Davidson is 0-7 SU and 2-5 ATS in its last 7 games against UNC.
  • UNC is 14-2 SU in its last 16 games against teams with winning records.
  • The total has gone UNDER in 12 of Davidson's last 16 games as underdog.

UNC will be without guard Joel Berry II, who injured his ankle against Radford on Sunday. Filling the void he leaves won’t be easy, as the junior leads the team in assists and steals while sitting second in points, but the Tar Heels have plenty of offensive options. Justin Jackson, Isaiah Hicks and Kennedy Meeks are all averaging over 13.0 points per game while shooting a combined 55.5 percent from the floor.

Jack Gibbs and Peyton Aldridge form a potent offensive duo for Davidson, as they are both averaging over 19.0 points per game. Secondary scoring hasn’t exactly been there for Davidson, though, as Gibbs and Aldridge have accounted for over 65 percent of the team’s scoring.
