My Prediction
North Carolina Tar Heels by 9I have to tell you, the basketball cosmos doesn't exactly seem aligned for the Florida State Seminoles in this one, even with dynamite players like Ta'Niya Latson, leading the month with an average of 24.4 points per game. Along with Makayla Timpson racking up rebounds like free burgers at a tailgate, scoring an impressive 10.2 per game, they make a formidable combination. That being said, life isn't just about raining buckets, is it?
Over on the Tar Heel side, Alyssa Ustby may just checkmate the Seminoles with an impressive 11.0 rebounds per game from last month. Maria Gakdeng is also unlikely to loosen her grip anytime soon, dribbling her way to an 11.2 points per game average.
Drawing on my astonishingly precise memory, the last clash between these teams saw the Seminoles swat Tar Heels away like gnats with a 70 - 62 victory, proving that squirrels occasionally do find a nut. But the Tar Heels have swished a flashier record this season, sitting comfortably on 18 wins versus the Seminoles' meager 15.
In recent times, Tar Heels have displayed impressive resilience, showing Wake Forest Demon Deacons the door with a 25-point lead. Then again, Seminoles have had their share of triumphs too, like their ravishing victory over the Miami Florida Hurricanes. But finishing second is considered a terrific win in horseshoes and hand grenades.
Residing in the 13th spot in the AP Rankings, the Tar Heels are definitely not weary, Carolina blue underdogs here. With a gleaming record and ranking, it seems like the Tar Heels have nestled into an advantageous position.
