UNC Wilmington at College of Charleston picks and predictions

Prediction

College of Charleston 70, UNC Wilmington 68

Moneyline

The moneyline was off the board at the time of publishing but the College of Charleston will be too expensive when a moneyline is made available.

Against the spread

UNC WILMINGTON +9.5 (-110) is worth a look in this key Colonial Athletic Conference battle. The Seahawks find themselves a game back of  Charleston -9.5 (-110) and Hofstra for 1st place, so this is a huge game.

These teams met Jan. 11 in Wilmington, with the Cougars stealing a 71-69 win to push at most shops as the Under 146.5 connected.

The underdog is 5-1-2 ATS in the last 8 meetings, so back the Seahawks to keep it within single digits.

Over/Under

UNDER 141.5 (-110) is the play in this CAA battle on the coast.

The Under is 4-1-1 in the last 6 games overall for UNCW, while cashing at a 3-0-1 pace in the previous 4 games on the road.

The Cougars have hit the Under at a 10-1 pace in the last 11 games at home, while cashing at a 15-6 clip in the last 21 games overall.

College of Charleston at North Carolina: Three things to know

  1. North Carolina opens the season ranked No. 16 in the USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll. Last season was a disaster by UNC standards as the Tar Heels finished 14-19 SU and 6-14 in the ACC, tied in the basement with Pittsburgh and Wake Forest.
  2. Charleston posted a 17-14 SU mark with a Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) 11-7 record last season, finishing tied for fourth place. The Cougars went 6-7 SU in 13 true road contests while going 14-14-1 ATS with a slight edge to the Over at 15-13-1.
  3. Despite a relatively reasonable geographic proximity, CoC and UNC haven’t met on the hardwood since Nov. 28, 2010. Carolina picked up a 74-69 victory at the Smith Center as the Cougars easily covered a 14-point number that day as the Under (155.5) cashed.

College of Charleston at North Carolina: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

North Carolina 77, College of Charleston 64

Money line (ML)

North Carolina (-5000) is too expensive, as you have to risk $50 for every $1 won. That’s just bad gambling over the long haul, as eventually you’ll run into an upset which will wash away your profits quickly. AVOID.

Against the spread (ATS)

COLLEGE OF CHARLESTON +17 (-110) is worth playing rather lightly, as I am just not feeling North Carolina -17 (-110). The did lose last year’s leading scorer and all-everything Cole Anthony to the NBA.

The Heels have retooled with a wealth of talent in freshmen Walker Kessler and Caleb Love, joining potential ACC Player of the Year Garrison Brooks, Armando Bacot and Leaky Black. But it might take a while for this new power five to jell. UNC won’t lose, but covering 17 is a tall order against a decent CoC side. The Cougars added some new blood, too, and Payton Willis should step right in and add some scoring punch.

Over/Under (O/U)

The lean is to the UNDER 143.5 (-115), but play it very lightly. The Tar Heels, on paper, should be much better on offense, but it remains to be seen if they’ll fire out of the chute or if chemistry will be an early issue.
