Their streak began with payoffs over Robert Morris, Southern Cal, and Kansas, which was then followed by back-to-back-wins over number one seeds Louisville and Connecticut.

In their Final Four March Madness betting matchup with UConn, the Spartans showed surprising strength and control in their 82-73 triumph. Kalin Lucas led State with 21 points and Raymar Morgan added 18. North Carolina has also gone a perfect 5-0 both straight up and against the spread in March Madness betting action.

The Tar Heels beat Radford, LSU, Gonzaga, Oklahoma and Villanova. North Carolina was dominant against a strong Villanova team in an 83-69 March Madness betting payoff. Ty Lawson had 22 points and Wayne Ellington added 20.

Ironically enough the game was also in Detroit, site of this March Madness betting title game. Tyler Hansbrough led Carolina with 25 points in that win. Hansbrough has been a significant March Madness betting asset as Carolina’s leading scorer with an average of 20.8 points per game.

North Carolina is a significantly better offensive team than State as they averaged almost 90 points per game compared to the Spartans 72 points per game. But State has the better defense as they allowed only 63 points per game compared to Carolina’s average of 72 points per game allowed.

State is actually a better bet when they play good teams as they have a 24-8 mark against the spread versus teams with win percentages above .600. But Carolina is strong in non-conference action with a mark of 37-14 against the spread.
