College basketball betting enthusiasts are chomping at the bit for tonight’s epic encounter between Big 10 and ACC powerhouses Wisconsin and North Carolina. The two teams will face each other, in the second major game between the conferences during ‘Bragging Rights Week’ in the NCAA. For all of your latest bookie software up to the minute information, continue reading our preview of tonight’s thrilling affair.

Both North Carolina and Wisconsin are in the top 10 of the AP 25 standings and have had much success this season. Entering tonight’s game in North Carolina, the Tar Heels are still reeling after a shocking upset over the weekend at the hands of the UNLV Rebels. It was during that game, that every team in the NCAA was able to watch an underrated UNLV offense pick apart, what was supposed to be a strong defensive unit for the Tar Heels. In fact, the Rebels guards were able to combine to score 13 three pointers, en route to a 90 – 80 victory.

The loss to the Rebels makes tonight’s game even more intriguing, as the Tar Heels were jettisoned from the top spot in the nation, all the way down to number five. Meanwhile, the Wisconsin Badgers are quickly climbing the ranks, as they are the ninth seed going into tonight’s contest. Theoretically, the undefeated Badgers could make a statement of NBA proportions, by jumping on a vulnerable Tar Heels squad.

In reality, this game could actually be the worst thing to happen to the Wisconsin Badgers. While they have plenty of opportunity to make statements, being the next team to face a powerhouse after an upset, tends to be a kiss of death in any sports league. For that reason, look for Harrison Barnes to lead the Tar Heels to victory.
