Weekend Picks: North Carolina-Texas

Posted Dec 11, 2015
People might be tempted to go with the home team in an upset, but this Texas team has been mediocre from Day 1. The Longhorns are especially susceptible on the defensive backboards (326th in defensive rebound percentage), which is going to spell trouble against a Tar Heels squad that is long and rangy and loves to attack the glass. Prediction: UNC 80, Texas 67 (Sports Illustrated)
