North Carolina vs. Alabama odds, prediction: 2024 NCAA Tournament picks, Sweet 16 best bets from proven model

[ad_1]

The North Carolina Tar Heels will look to even the score with the Alabama Crimson Tide on Thursday when they meet in a 2024 NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 showdown. The No. 1-seeded Tar Heels and No. 4-seeded Crimson Tide cruised through the first two rounds with a pair of blowout victories but that will likely change on Thursday. Last year, the clubs met in the Phil Knight Invitational and the Crimson Tide prevailed 103-101 in four overtimes. The loss impacted the resume of North Carolina, which failed to reach the NCAA Tournament last season. A revenge win would send the Tar Heels to the Elite Eight.

Tipoff is set for 9:39 p.m. ET from Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. The Tar Heels are 4.5-point favorites and the over/under for total points scored is 173.5 in the latest North Carolina vs. Alabama odds via SportsLine consensus.
