The North Carolina Tar Heels will play five straight games away from Chapel Hill starting on Friday night<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

North Carolina will begin a stretch of five consecutive games away from Chapel Hill, as it looks to improve to 3-0 on the season after capturing home wins over Florida Atlantic and Gardner-Webb.\u00a0 \u201cWe need to get better because things start really getting drastically higher competition-wise when we get rolling now,\u201d commented Tar Heels coach Roy Williams.\u00a0 The Tar Heels will depart to Hawaii after this game to take part in the EA Sports Maui Invitational next week.\u00a0 North Carolina is 6-7 ATS as a road favorite of 9.5 to 12 points, which is important to consider when making your college basketball picks against the spread on Friday.<\/p>\n

The Tar Heels have won both meetings against the 49ers, which have been contested at home in the last two seasons.\u00a0 North Carolina trailed by five points at halftime, but rallied to a 84-78 win as 15.5-point favorites last year.\u00a0 Sophomore forward James Michael McAdoo tallied his second straight double-double with 19 points and 11 rebounds last time out, while Reggie Bullock added 16 points.<\/p>\n

Long Beach State opened up its season with a 75-65 win over North Alabama at the Walter Pyramid last Saturday, as the program is looking for its first win ever against an ACC team on Friday night.\u00a0 \u201cThis was a good game for us in that we\u2019ve got a long ways to go,\u201d stated 49ers coach Dan Monson.\u00a0 \u201cThat\u2019s why we play these games.\u201d\u00a0 The 49ers have lost all six games in that situation, with five of them coming in the Monson era.\u00a0 Long Beach State is 4-9 ATS in November over the last two-plus seasons, with the OVER going 7-2 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The 49ers did manage to earn 13 first-place votes in being picked to win their third straight Big West Conference title, with James Ennis expected to be the team\u2019s leader.\u00a0 He averaged 10.0 points and 4.1 rebounds a season ago, while ranking second in the conference in steals.\u00a0 Guard Mike Caffey has combined with Ennis to score 58 of the team\u2019s 119 points this year.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the 49ers due to their 5-0 ATS mark after a loss of 10 or more points, while the Tar Heels are 8-8 ATS as a road favorite.<\/p>\n
