UNC Basketball vs. Tennessee in ACC/SEC Challenge: Scouting report and prediction

Posted Nov 29, 2023
UNC plays Tennessee in the first ACC/SEC Challenge on Wednesday at the Smith Center. Prediction: UNC 71, Tennessee 68. Tennessee hasn’t lost three games in a row under Rick Barnes since 2020, but the Tar Heels have plenty of offense and they’re playing at home. The Smith Center transforms for big-time games, so I’ll roll with UNC in a close one. (Fayetteville Observer)
