Yesterday my predictions on the ACC first round games were awful. I went a mere two for four. Today I hope to do a better and go a perfect 4 for 4. If the ACC does not interest you then I suggest watching the Big East because the games have been nothing short of spectacular. The 6 overtime thriller between Syracuse and Connecticut was one of the greatest college basketball games played to date. Anyways, if the ACC interests you then here are my predictions for today’s games.
#1 UNC vs. #8 Virginia Tech
I had Virginia Tech losing in the first round and have them losing today against Carolina. With or without Ty Lawson this team will do a number on Virginia Tech. I will be surprised if Carolina does not win by more than 15 points. The talented NBA ready class that they have will start off fast and never look back.
#4 Florida State vs. #12 Georgia Tech
Florida State has played well this season but most of their games have been relatively close. I have Florida State winning but unlike the UNC game this game will be close. Toney Douglas is the only player to average double digit points with 20.8 points. This man will take over the game in the closing minutes and secure a victory for Florida State.
#2 Wake Forest vs. #7 Maryland
Yesterday I was right in choosing Maryland and today they are going to need a big performance to get into the big tournament and I believe they will do just that. Maryland will win this game if they play to the potential that they have. Sometimes this team decides to not show up and play. The Demon Deacons already are in the tournament and will not be playing with as much determination as the Terps will be.
#3 Duke vs. #6 Boston College
Duke lost to North Carolina in their last game of the season and will look to rebound back in this game. Coach K. always seems to get his team going around tournament time and will get the ball rolling against Boston College. This team is full of knockdown shooters and oh yeah that freakish athlete Gerald Henderson. Look for Duke to walk away with a win.
