Tonight at 6pm on ESPN, the North Carolina Tar Heels 13-5 (3-2) travel to PNC Arena to take on instate rival 18 NC State 15-4 (4-2). The Tar Heels come into this game on a three game ACC winning streak after losing their first two, the lastest win being a 79-63 home win against Georgia Tech on Wednesday night. James Michale McAdoo leads North Carolina with an average of 14.7 points per game. He is a dynamic forward who can put the ball in many different ways, but is mostly effective when he faces up to the basket and his mid range jumpshot is silky smooth. The Wolfpack come into this game after a disappointing upset loss at Wake Forest on Wednesday night by a final of 86-84. C.J. Leslie continues to lead the team in points with an average of 15.3 a game. State needs a big game from their point guard position if they are going to com away with a win. Lorenzo Brown runs the show for the Wolfpack. He is averaging 12.8 points a game and 132 assists on the season. The key to this one is turnovers. Whoever does not give easy points in transition by turnovers will win this game. I think NC State will come away with a big home win.
