Miami vs. No. 3 North Carolina odds, preview and pick: North Carolina -4 (-110 or better)

The third-ranked Tar Heels are on a roller coaster — loss at sub-500 Georgia Tech, impressive home win over Duke and home loss to Clemson, which was 4-6 in the conference.

North Carolina has potent scorers in RJ Davis (21.3 points), Armando Bacot (14.3 points) and Harrison Ingram (12.5), who lit up Duke last Saturday for 21 points.
