First the big game of the night with a big play:
North Carolina over Duke (waiting to see what happens with the line) BIG
Just like with Georgia Tech, this goes against my normal kind of play but there's a few reasons:
I believe North Carolina is the best team in the country like several
I believe Duke is overrated even though I give them credit with their impressive overall record. But these team doesn't have the horses that NC has.
Duke has won 9 of the last 10 mostly because they had the better teams in the past. Not true this year and no question North Carolina had this game marked ever since last year.
In February of previous years, I would have taken Duke (in similar situations like this game) and would have lost. The reason is that around this time of the year, the cream rises to the top. The pretenders start to slowly fade away while the real teams step up. I see Duke as a major pretender led by Reddick who is a very good shooter but selfish at times which ruins team chemisty and you simply can't waste chances against the Tar Heels even at Cameron. Its not enough during this time of the year to pick the home teams that are getting slighted by the books. . . it appears Duke is getting slighted by the books since they are a dog for the first time in a long time at home but there has to be a reason. We will see why Wednesday night
