SportsLine's model just revealed its college basketball picks for FSU Seminoles vs. UNC Tar Heels on Saturday

Since there aren’t any other interesting sports this weekend, I’m sure Nole fans will be pumped to tune into a 2 PM hoops game in Chapel Hill. 1. Some good news occurred during FSU’s meltdown against Georgia (which, was the 2nd biggest collapse in all of college basketball this season). Jaylan Gainey – 2-time defensive player of the year in the Ivy League – finally saw some action. It’s been 685 days between games for him, so don’t feel bad if you were wondering who the heck No. 33 was when he took the court. He entered the game with FSU up 11-5, and then in a 5-second span altered a shot at the rim which allowed another Georgia player to grab the rebound, but Gainey swiped the ball out of his hands, and then seeing Darin Green streaking down the sideline, Gainey promptly through a long pass into the stands. So, shaking off the rust! UNC, you may recall, has 5th year senior Armando Bacot in the middle (16.7 ppg, 11.6 rpg), so any minutes Gainey can provide will be a boost.

Through seven games, the 2023 UNC Basketball program has shown one glaring weakness that legend Tyler Hansbrough says must be improved. The 2023 UNC Basketball team has begun the season 6-1 overall, including high-quality wins over Arkansas and Tennessee. The offense has reached a completely new level than we have previously seen under head coach Hubert Davis, including scoring 100 points against the Tennessee Volunteers, who were No. 1 in defensive efficiency per KenPom at the time of the matchup.
