Florida State+7....think Duke is a better team here but motivation clearly on Florida State's side to stay close. I think this one will be tight, I love Florida States defense matched up against Duke, and I like Toney Douglas ability to penetrate the lane and draw fouls. If Florida State can avoid turnovers, their nemesis all year, and Singleton can nail some timely three's, they win straight up. Not good enough for me to risk the ML play but Ill gladly take the points. My system shows Duke by 5.
Duke 68 Florida State 65
Tennessee-5....the Volunteers struggled this year and were much maligned as a flop due to their poor record in the SEC. I dont like Bruce Pearl as a person but I think he will have Tennessee motivated and I really see them as a sleeper in the Big Dance if they win today. Tennessee has struggled to make the the 3 this year but I think they will be more successful from beyond the arc today where the Bulldogs havent been very successful in defending, I look for a big games from Scotty Hopson and Wayne Chism. I like Mississipi State to stay with Tennessee in the first half but I like Tennessee to wear down the Bulldogs and pull away in the 2nd half.
Tennesee won the last matchup 81-76 at home. My system has Tennessee by 9.
Tennessee 83 Mississipi State 76
Stephen F. Austin-7.5...no writeup for this one, basically tailing a few of the sharps here and had them by 10 on my normal system.
Stephen Austin 67 Texas at San Antonio 52
Good luck to everyone today.
