The team's ability to convert from beyond the arc has been a significant factor in their recent success, hitting an impressive 38 percent of three-point attempts against the Spartans and an even more remarkable 50 percent against Wagner. This sharpshooting prowess will be crucial as they go up against Alabama.


Defensively, North Carolina has also stepped up its game. They've averaged five blocks per game over these past performances, indicating a strong defensive presence in the paint that could disrupt Alabama's scoring attempts.


Moreover, the Tar Heels have demonstrated excellent ball movement and teamwork with assist-to-turnover ratios of 2.4 and 1.56 across these games – numbers that reflect both careful possession and effective offensive strategies.


Rebounding is another area where North Carolina has excelled; they outrebounded Wagner by nearly double figures which contributed significantly to their victory margin.


The upcoming game is set at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles – neutral ground for both teams but a stage known for its electric atmosphere that could add extra intensity to this matchup.
