Took it on the chin last night but .....
UNC (-7.5) over Duke
Tarheels will be looking for a little payback. At the dean dome the heels have the edge. Plus Duke has not really played well on the road this year. Can see duke trying to slow the game because that is the only way they have a shot (as they did in Duke). Still the crowd and the heels depth makes them the play for me.
Ill (-7) over OHIO St
Wake (-2.5) over NC St
CO- WRITE UP....
I might be missing something or jumping right into the bear trap, but Ill and Wake are far better teams than OSU and NC St. Yes they are on the road and these games are the championships for the dog but the starting five for Ill and Wake should have enough to pull by these teams. OSU is a solid team that likes to use its guards to get involved, well the Illini have some guards to counter that, plus they have big men. Unless NC st shoots outside them selves which I haven't seen this season, Wake has the depth and the players to beat this team.
