North Carolina State Wolfpack at Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets

Here we have a very good team, NC State, trying to get some road revenge on a very bad team, Georgia Tech. The Wolfpack lost at home last month by 11 points and it really was an inexcusable loss as they were riding a six-game winning streak and had just won their ACC opener over Maryland. NC State did bounce back with three straight wins and now sitting at 6-3 in the conference, it can ill afford to lose another ACC game against a non-quality opponent, especially this one.

Georgia Tech is coming off a win on Saturday as it defeated Boston College by four points at home and the Eagles are one of two other teams with the same 2-7 conference record. That victory snapped a six-game losing streak for the Yellow Jackets but don't expect a winning streak to take place. We have to remember that Georgia Tech isn't even playing in an on-campus arena this year as a new one is being built and it is currently 1-5 at Philips Arena, which is the home to the Atlanta Hawks.

Georgia Tech shot 51 percent from the floor in that first meeting against the Wolfpack and that was an aberration as it is shooting only 43.8 percent from the floor on the season. It is 7-0 this season when it has shot 50 percent from the floor so that victory was not that much of a surprised based on that. NC State is allowing opponents to shoot only 42.3 percent on the season so the Yellow Jackets outburst was an aberration on its own defense. The Wolfpack are allowing an even better 39.7 percent in road games.

Keeping a normally low-scoring Georgia Tech team in check by guarding perimeter shooters better will be one of the priorities in the Wolfpack's only game during the week. They do not play again until next Thursday at Duke so that makes this game that much more important and should give no excuses for not putting out a full effort. The Yellow Jackets are 0-5 ATS in their last five games following a win and they are only 4-13 ATS in their last 17 games against teams with a winning percentage greater than .600. 9* (709) NC State Wolfpack

Kansas Jayhawks @ Kentucky Wildcats Monday April 2, 2012 9:20 pm
All of the pressure is on Kentucky and head coach John Calipari and while it has handled it very well so far, this is of a different magnitude. The Wildcats are one win away from a National Championship that they are expected to win and that has been the case all season long. I think ... read more

Ohio State Buckeyes @ Kansas Jayhawks Saturday March 31, 2012 8:49 pm
The linesmakers are have given the edge to Ohio St. in this matchup and the main reason for that is the road these two teams have taken to get here. The Buckeyes have covered three of their four tournament games with the only non-covering being by just a bucket. Kansas meanwhile ... read more

Louisville Cardinals @ Kentucky Wildcats Saturday March 31, 2012 6:09 pm
As tempting as these points look, they won't be enough for Louisville to cover against Kentucky, let alone win it outright. The Cardinals have put a very strong run together, similar to that of Connecticut from last season as they won four games in four days to capture the Big East ... read more

Minnesota Golden Gophers @ Washington Huskies Tuesday March 27, 2012 9:00 pm
Washington is showing that it is the class of the NIT and the number one seed it received was well deserved. The Huskies have cruised through its three games to get to the NIT Final Four and even though all of those took place at home, they will be just fine in this atmosphere. Washington ... read more

Pittsburgh Panthers @ Washington State Cougars Monday March 26, 2012 10:00 pm
Pittsburgh is coming off an ugly overtime win over Butler on the road to advance to the best-of-three finals in the CBI Tournament. I believe that was their final roadblock before winning this championship. The Panthers came into this tournament with a great attitude after a very ... read more

Florida Gators @ Louisville Cardinals Saturday March 24, 2012 4:30 pm
You have to give credit to Florida for the run it is having but there is no reason it should be favored here. The Gators are one of the two lower seeded teams that are favored Saturday and while Ohio St. is justified, Florida isn't. The Gators first two games came against lower seeded ... read more
