Preview & Prediction: #9 UNC vs Northwestern
Posted Nov 23, 2015
Northern Iowa and Northwestern both average 67.5 possessions per game putting them in the 330s nationally for tempo. A slower game tends to mean more half court offense and without Marcus Paige that has proven to be a bit dicey. Better offensive execution in half court sets will be crucial if the Tar Heels cannot get as many transition looks. Prediction: UNC 77 Northwestern 69
