A pair of numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: UNC ranks 25th in college basketball when it comes to points per game, with 78.3 on average. But St. Peter’s enters the matchup with only 62.3 points allowed per game on average, good for 19th best in college basketball. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
