Wednesday, 9:00 pm Eastern – ESPN
SBG Global Opening Line: North Carolina -4.5 , Total TBA
North Carolina could be playing without staring guard Ty Lawson again on Tuesday. He is listed as questionable for the game. North Carolina is led by forward Tyler Hansbrough who is averaging 23 points per game. The Tar Heels have been outrebounded in back-to-back games for the first time since late last season. Last season North Carolina was outrebounded in just five games and lost four of those. The Tar Heels are looking forward to the test against the Buckeyes. "For us as coaches it's not the same kind of thing as it is in the ACC office or for our fans,” North Carolina head coach Roy Williams said, “It's a big-time deal, it really is, and we like to play in those big-time games. But some of us play in a lot of big-time games."
