With North Carolina's offensive efficiency ranking significantly above NC State's defensive efficiency, expect the Tar Heels to capitalize on their scoring opportunities.
Conversely, NC State has shown glimpses of offensive prowess, particularly in their last three games, managing to outscore their season average. However, North Carolina's defensive metrics suggest they're well-equipped to handle this surge, potentially limiting NC State's scoring.
