Wake Forest -8.5 over Notre Dame (win)

Notre Dame played excellently yesterday and needed the entire tank to beat Georgia Tech. The Irish are playing on tired legs and are facing a superior team. Wake Forest is an outstanding offensive team that only needs one or two Notre Dame scoring droughts to quickly push the lead to double-digits. Steve Forbes has done an exceptional job coaching his team over the hump of being mediocre. The Demon Deacons should control every aspect of the game. Look for Hunter Sallis to have a great shooting night and for Andrew Carr to clean up around the net. Take Wake Forest.

Texas -4.5 over Kansas State (loss)

Kansas State is a superior defensive team, but they lack scoring power, which hurts at this point in the season. Texas is one of the best offensive teams in the BIG 12, led by Oral Roberts transfer Max Abrams. The Longhorns have a good balance of play from their guards and forwards and can strike from all over the court. Texas shares the ball generously to find the best available shot. The Longhorns will look to take advantage of the Wildcat’s sloppy offensive play and advance to the next round. Take Texas.

Clemson -6.5 over Boston College (loss)

Boston College looked great last night against Miami, but they have their number this year, having beaten them three times in less than a month. Clemson is a veteran team that handled the Eagles in the prior meeting. Both teams will get their points today, and I expect to see fatigue from Boston College as they played yesterday. BC doesn’t have a talented bench, while Clemson does. The Tigers are better in almost every category and should advance with their experienced lineup. PJ Hall, Chase Hunter, and Joseph Girard are outstanding senior guards hungry to make a deep ACC Tournament run. The Tigers hit foul shots well, which is always a plus during closing time. Take Clemson.

Utah -5.5 over Arizona State (win)

Utah was awful away from their home court this season, but the Sun Devils were not much better. Arizona State won both matchups this year, so it’s interesting to see Utah as the size favorite they are. Utah is a better offensive and defensive team. The Utes are much better on the boards, as Arizona State is one of the worst teams securing offensive rebounds. Utah is one of the best teams for grabbing defensive rebounds. The Utes are one of the most experienced teams in the nation and are looking forward to revenge for the regular season losses. Utes Center Branden Carlson is too big and strong to be stopped tonight, and they should thrive at the three-point line. Take Utah.
