Duke -3.5 over UNC
This is going to be a great game between two schools who are fighting for a top spot in the NCAA Tournament. Both teams are evenly matched, but I am going to give the edge to Singler and Smith both who are seniors for Duke over Zeller and the freshman Barnes who is coming off his best game yet against Clemson. UNC has two huge comebacks the last few days. If Duke gets a big lead their will be no comeback. Take Duke
Florida -1.5 over Kentucky
This is going to be another great game, but Kentucky is probably going to be without Lamb and I like Florida’s size and quickness. Teams have to be at full strength to have a shot at winning the conference. Kentucky is a little banged up and it will hurt them today. Take Florida.
Richmond -4 over Dayton
Richmond won the earlier meetings this year and won on the road in Dayton which is usually a tough place to play. Dayton is not a good road team and I do not think Dayton as a 9 seed is as good as Richmond. Dayton had an easy road to the title game after beating a Xavier team that did not take them seriously. Richmond will and should go dancing into the NCAA Tournament.
Ohio State -9.5 over Penn State
Although I am very mad that Ohio State blew the cover for us as they were up 17 with under 2 minutes left the fact is they are the #1 team in the nation playing against a PSU team that cant score and cant rebound the ball. Sure PSU is good one defense, but OSU is even better. There is not one area PSU is superior in and if OSU does not seal the deal winning the BIG 10 Championships then they should not get a #1 seed in the tournament. A loss today just might bump them to a #2 seed. Look for OSU to not make the same mistake as yesterday late in the game. Take Ohio State.
