North Carolina Tar Heels vs William & Mary Tribe
The Tar Heels go into this one with a 64% winning record, and naturally as favorites over the William & Mary Tribe. North Carolina will be sure to keep an eye on the current William & Mary streak (Lost 1), and take necessary precautions. The Tar Heels are averaging 78.5 ppg this season (good for number 39 in the NCAA), and better than the Tribe’s 57.8 ppg average in the 2010-2011 NCAA season.
Playing on the road, the Tribe will need to play to their strengths and their 69 3 pointers made is their strongest statistical attribute (and good for number 126 in the whole NCAA Division 1). The William & Mary are 4-6 this season overall (0-1 in the Colonial Athletic Association) and today will hope to improve their 0 – 5 record away from Kaplan Arena at William & Mary Hall.
North Carolina have been dominating their opponents this season in the defensive total rebounds departement. Their 310 defensive total rebounds is the number 20 best among the 350 colleges in the NCAA D1, and that will be an area that the William & Mary coaching staff will want to balance out today if they want to dampen North Carolina’s 5 – 1 home record. After 11 games, the Tar Heels hopeful will be counting for a victory to improve their standing in the Atlantic Coast Conference.The 21,750 expected fans in the Dean Smith Center will be in for a treat today and if you want to join them and watch North Carolina Tar Heels vs William & Mary Tribe online live streaming on ESPN3 or on your TV – then make sure to tune in at 19:00 ET today.
