Oklahoma Sooners vs. North Carolina Tar Heels Pick & Prediction DECEMBER 20th 2023
by
|
No. 11 North Carolina has played some high-profile opponents this season and competed well in those games. However, the Tar Heels haven’t won a healthy share of those. Riding a two-game skid, North Carolina (7-3) has another chance for a notable result when it faces No. 7 Oklahoma on Wednesday night in Charlotte. “We’re a really good basketball team that has a lot more growth to go,” said North Carolina coach Hubert Davis, whose team … more

The defending national champions finished a daunting nonconference slate with a convincing win. But No. 5 UConn, of all teams, should know that getting through the Big East is another matter. The Huskies will open conference play against Seton Hall on Wednesday in Newark, N.J.

Trey Galloway had the best game of his career Saturday, but he needed to make one more shot. Galloway’s career-high 28 points weren’t quite good enough for Indiana to beat No. 2 Kansas as his potential go-ahead 3-pointer in the last minute went begging in a 75-71 loss. He and the Hoosiers will try to return to the win column against Morehead State Tuesday night in Bloomington, Ind. Galloway canned 12 of 17 shots from … more

Each team’s fresh talent will get their first dose of Big East action when Butler hosts Georgetown on Tuesday in Indianapolis.
