10 Dimes North Carolina +1.5 over Kentucky Wildcats
While both of these teams have come together and played their best basketball as the season closes, the matchup of personnel is what is going to tip the scales in favor of UNC. Their size inside with Zeller and Henson will keep the Kentucky's bigmen Harrellson and Jones busy, but their real advantage in my mind is Carolina's duo of Barnes and Marshall. Marshall will battle with another great Freshman, Brandon Knight, and then that leaves freshman phenom Harrison Barnes, who I don't really see the Wildcats having an answer for. Both of teams have marched through adversity this year in numerous ways, but when all is said and done, UNC still has too many ways to hurt the opposition. Kentucky is 0-7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings between these blueblood programs, and UNC has owned SEC opposition (12-3-1 ATS run against the SEC.) This is an easy decision for me, roll with the Tarheels.
