Georgetown-Syracuse -9
In the first of the 3 top 10 matchups tonight we have the Hoyas visiting the Orange of Syracuse. A couple days ago Kurly posted a good article on Georgetown and the fact that they are overachieving this year based on preseason expectations. Although Georgetown has fared well up to this point they are in a hard spot tonight. I think Syracuse comes out hot and rolls to the win and cover. Syracuse 68, Georgetown 55
Kansas-Baylor -1.5
The game of the night if you aren’t an ACC fan the biggest surprise of this game is the spread. Baylor only by 1.5? Home court advantage dictates 3 or 4 points so on a neutral court Kansas would be favored? I don’t get it. I like Baylor home, away, near, far, etc. Kansas keeps it close most of the way but Baylor pulls away in the last 5 minutes. Baylor 73, Kansas 65
Duke-North Carolina -6.5
Ah, the true Game of the Night, Week, Month! Time to find out if these Blue Devils are for real. The Tar Heels have strung together a bunch of wins since that Florida State debacle but didn’t look especially good against Maryland over the weekend. Duke has been Jekyll and Hyde all year long and I expect it to continue tonight. Duke goes into the half with the lead but wilts down the stretch. UNC wins but Duke covers (as if that even matters). North Carolina 79, Duke 75
