nc state @ fla st - state has won the last six in this series, only one of which was close. wolfpack has played solid on the road this year, winning three of four conference games outright. here's a comparison of these two teams over their last five conference games: state 79.2 ppg vs fsu 61.2 ppg; state 47.2% fg vs fsu 37.6% fg; state 37.3% 3 pt vs fsu 25.8% 3 pt; state 77% ft vs fsu 57% ft. wolfpack gets the win and cover.
maryand @ unc - hate to go with the masses but this unc team is without weapons and demoralized to the point of depression. the burden of being the first really bad tarheel team in modern times has weighed upon this young team and gotten into their heads. doherty realizes there are no apparent answers and can only try to break the monotony. this week he shortened practice friday to break routine and declined to go over tape with his players of their latest humiliation @ wake. more distractions this week also as jason capel's grandmother died this week and he had a close relationship with her. he attended the funeral on saturday and missed a couple of days practice this week. talk about a load on a young guy.
carolina averages 19 to's a game; they have been beaten by an average of 19 ppg in their eight confernece losses, including losses @ home to duke by 29, to state by 18 and to wake by 22. carolina has absolutely no guard play. attempts to run morrison and boone at point have been miserable failures, and today they get to match up against one of the best guard combinations in the country. in the last five confernece games, marland has scored an average of about 21 ppg more than the heels - that sounds about right for todays margin.
clemson @ virginia: tigers should continue to fade and get hammered by the 'hoos, but virginia's play has been so inconsistent and with the dd line i think it's probably best to leave this one alone.
good luck today in whatever you play.
