What you need to know about North Carolina

It's been a historically-poor season by UNC's lofty standards as the Tar Heels are coming off their fifth straight loss and sit at the very bottom of the ACC standings at 1-6 in conference play. The injury to star Cole Anthony (knee), who remains out, is certainly a big factor, but the Tar Heels have had issues all over the floor. 

They rank 239th in the nation in scoring offense (70.1 ppg) and 230th in scoring defense (71.1 ppg). One bright spot, however, has been the play of forward Garrison Brooks, who is averaging 15.2 points and 9.4 rebounds per game. He scored 28 points and grabbed 13 boards in the double-OT loss to Virginia Tech on Wednesday. 

What you need to know about Miami

Despite their struggles, the Tar Heels still have a shot to cover the North Carolina vs. Miami spread. The Hurricanes are just one game ahead of UNC in the ACC standings and they have lost five of their last six overall. All but one of those losses came by double digits. 

Powered by guard Chris Lykes (15.7 ppg), the Hurricanes average 71.8 points per game. They give up 74.1 per contest, however, and that's been a big factor in why they've struggled.
