The No.1 ranked North Carolina Tar Heels continue their season when they host the Fairfield Stags Sunday, but UNC has struggled to cover frequently large spreads at home. The Tar Heels are just 4-8-1 ATS in their past 13 games at the Dean Smith Center.
Any concerns that UNC may struggle without Marcus Paige in the lineup was put to rest when they dismantled Temple 91-67 to start their season Friday. Four different players put up double-digit points against Temple, highlighted by Kennedy Meeks who went 10-of-14 and recorded a double-double.
Fairfield’s first game could not have been more different as the team did not have any player score more than eight points in a 70-57 point loss to Yale.
