Yesterday I did much better getting all four games right but the wins by each team except Maryland were pretty. Today I look to stay on track with two more ACC games. Meanwhile the Big East tournament is looking good with the Orange of Syracuse beating West Virginia one day after their six overtime thriller. Well here are my picks for today’s games.
#1 UNC vs. #4 Florida State
Now I did say that Toney Douglas would lead Florida State to win and he did but not before and underachieving Georgia Tech gave them a run for their money. Today their journey ends when they face North Carolina. Tyler Hansbrough is not afraid of taking the shot at the end of the game like when he took over yesterday with a shot, free throws, and holding the ball for a jump ball in the closing seconds. Again with or without Lawson look for the Tar Heels to advance to the finals of the ACC Tournament.
#3 Duke vs. #7 Maryland
This should be a grinded out game with whoever’s heart is bigger will win this game. Maryland comes in hot trying to get a bid for the NCAA Tournament and I think they will keep the ball rolling against Duke. The way they do this is to shut down either Singler or Scheyer because Henderson will be able to get his. If Vasquez can keep up his play and almost triple double numbers then this team will face Carolina tomorrow. Maryland is fighting to play in the big tournament and in the past couple years these two teams have developed a rivalry, look for Maryland to advance.
