Player Prop #3: Elliot Cadeau / Over Assists / 5.5 / -112 / 72% / Cadeau’s playmaking surges at home with 6.4 assists average, benefiting from North Carolina’s fast pace and Notre Dame’s turnover-prone guards due to injury absences.

⚖️ Analysis Summary

Public sentiment heavily favors North Carolina, aligning with sharp money and mathematical edges from efficiency ratings and injury adjustments, making a follow strategy optimal rather than fading. Notre Dame’s multiple key absences, including starters on the line and defense, tilt the matchup decisively. Overall scoring outlook points to a moderate over lean, driven by North Carolina’s offensive tempo but tempered by potential defensive focus.
