North Carolina (8-2) at Texas (6-4): Rick Barnes’ team has struggled more than was expected. The Longhorns have lost to Chaminade and USC in Maui, but also to Georgetown and UCLA, which also hasn’t played well. UNC may have point guard issues, but it still leads the nation in assists and is fourth in scoring. The Tar Heels will lose this game if they don’t match Texas’ physical play. Otherwise, Carolina should win. Pick: UNC, 74-66.
