Preview & Prediction: #1 UNC at Northern Iowa

Posted Nov 20, 2015
This game is the first of three straight away from Chapel Hill for UNC and the warm-up before the Tar Heels play back-to-back days in Kansas City. It can be a bit of a trap game much like playing Davidson before UNC went to the Bahamas last season. The Tar Heels handled that game well, so a result along those lines would be ideal. Prediction: UNC 81 Northern Iowa 71 (Tar Heel Blog)
