Wednesday Matchups

There are a couple big games tonight as Conference play is in full effect. Let’s hit the top 3 or 4.

Northwestern @ Michigan State
Northwestern needs a big road win to keep within sniffing distance of the Brackets. Michigan State is on a 11 game win streak and have looked unstoppable in the past month. Northwestern keeps it close but eventually loses in the last 5 minutes, 68-61.

Villanova @ Connecticut
Nova has looked solid against a bunch of cream puffs while loses to all the big names teams so far. Connecticut should remain in the top 3 or 4 in the Big East all year long. Villanova is exposed for what they really are in an UConn laugher, 82-63

George Mason @ Northeastern
Colonial action! As you can see I still have a man crush for the Colonial conference. Northeastern is a solid team and should finish in the top half of this 14 team conference but George Mason needs these road wins to maintain the chance for an at large bid if they slip up in the conference tournament. Close game through out but George squeaks it out 64-62

Clemson @ North Carolina
Clemson has 1 loss to undefeated Wake Forest, nothing to be ashamed of. North Carolina has split their last 4 as ESPN’s wet dream of a team. Clemson has lost 53 straight at UNC and it’s looking like they’ll make it 54. Clemson falls apart this game and the rest of the season, 16-1 now, 22-10 at the end of the year. UNC 91, Clemson 79
