ZBOIZ what do you think of Florida-3 vs Auburn

The General · 01-14-09, 01:31 PM

Best of luck. Your logic is good, IMO.

you guys realize Wake Forest hasn't ever beaten BC since BC joined the conference and the fact that the last 2 times Wake has gone to BC they have been routed?

The General · 01-14-09, 02:29 PM

I must say I was not aware of that trend. Thanks.

I know, this line seems a little fishy. Wake beating UNC, undefeated, and matching up against a team that just loss to HARVARD. The question is, which BC team shows up? The one that loss to harvard and Miami or the one that beat UNC. Answer: Doesn't matter. Wake is a much better team and have proven to be a qualitity road team (handling BYU on their home court). Guard play is what this game will boil down to, and Teague is simply better than Rice. I see Wake winning this game by 6 or more, so I'm laying the points.

So you are saying that if the BC team shows up that beat UNC at Chapel Hill, it won't matter because Wake is that good?

You are in for a surprise.

I agree with you on the pick overall - I like Wake here. However it will not come down to guard play... TOTALLY personal opinion here but Teague and Rice are in the same class. I don't believe that "Teague is simply better than Rice".

BC is "rebuilding" ; Rice is the only Senior that really plays. BC will absolutely challange them a bit but I can see a Wake cover. Josh Southern can't stay out of foul trouble and Rakim Sanders is inconsistent.... that's what I think it'll come down to.

Again - Just an opinion. Best of Luck to all of you!!!!

I think trends don't always matter year to year. For example, Tennessee has one of the best home team court advantages in college basketball over the past few years. They've lost 2 back to back home games this year. BC hasn't been playing all that well at home. They lost to Harvard for goodness sakes. Only ACC team to ever be beat by Ivy league. I think everyone knows that Wake is a much better team, and I think we are getting the line at a good buy. This line should be -7 in my personal opinion. Just like when Wake played UNC and they were catching +7. I took Wake cause it was a good buy then. I'm not saying that this game is a lock, I'm saying it is a good bet and Hopefully it hits.

20 point lead @ half hang on boys.

Axis · 01-14-09, 10:26 PM

Damn, I think I should have bet BC on the 2nd half.

Oh well, I have Wake +1.5 in a teaser.
