Michigan State vs UNC Picks & Prediction
The Spartans and Tar Heels last met in the NCAA Tournament back in 2009 in the title game.
North Carolina took care of Michigan State, 89-72 to capture the championship as the two legendary programs meet in the second round on Saturday.
UNC took care of 16th-seeded Wagner in the first round, marking the program's first tournament win since beating rival Duke in the 2022 Final Four.
Michigan State never trailed in Thursday's 69-51 blowout of Mississippi State as the Spartans limited the Bulldogs to 6-of-27 shooting from downtown.
The Tar Heels owned the best defensive efficiency numbers in ACC play, along with the top 2-point and 3-point percentage defense.
This line seems extremely short considering North Carolina is a top seed and Michigan State has lost five of its last eight games.
Pick: Michigan State +4 (-110)
