Before getting in the games tonight, BC beat Holy Cross last night in a game that saw Boston College star, Craig Smith, surpass 2000 points for his career. Also, Sean Williams played his most minutes since his return, scoring 13 pts for the Eagles.
Tonight, there are 3 games:
- #14 NC State at #1 Duke 7 PM ESPN - This is the featured game tonight, as the Pack come into Cameron with experience, shooting, and depth. The Wolfpack have to find an answer to slowing down JJ Redick and Shelden Williams, to have a shot in this one. Also, watch the turnovers for Tony Bethel and Engin Atsur, it is key for the Wolfpack to not turn the ball over more than a dozen times as the Blue Devil offense is just too efficient.
- Clemson at Miami 7:30 PM - Clemson goes to Miami to play one of the hottest teams in the ACC. While the Canes have beat UNC and Maryland in consecutive games, Clemson is still playing good ball. This will be a matchup of two pretty good backcourts, and whichever backcourt scores more will probably win.
- Georgia Tech at Wake Forest 9 PM RJ - Wake Forest looks to defend their homecourt and turn around their season against a young Georgia Tech team that would cherish a road win in the ACC. Wake Forest needs to pressure the backcourt of the Yellow Jackets, who have been prone to turn the ball over, and the Demon Deacons need some easy scoring opportunities.
Predictions
Duke over NC State by 5
Miami over Clemson by 2
Wake Forest over Georgia Tech by 9
