Fade if you must:
YTD: 46-52-1
RI +1
WVU -3.5
St Joes +2.5
I'm looking real hard at the UNC game at -11. I think UNC smokes them after a big letdown at Wake, but history shows that UNC struggles at Little John. Hmmmmm

Add UNC -11.5
Miami +7
UNC is coming off a tough, tought loss at Wake. They were in the game and never caved after being down by 16 with under 5 minutes left. They cut it to 8 with over 2 min left, but Wake shot 32-32 FTs and weren't gonna be beat. There is nothing to hang your head about after losing to the #3 team on their home court. Some defensive lapses and the inability of May to function under the basket were 2 reasons why UNC failed to get the W.
Roy Williams corrects mistakes rather than try coaching "through" them. UNC will be fired up in order to make a statement much like they did after their loss to Santa Clara (swept Maui Invitation by 20+ winning margins). Additionally, with Wake losing to FSU last night, UNC must capitilize in order to maintain pace with Wake since the new conference play doesn't have a home and home this year. I think UNC will make this statement and come away with a huge margin of victory.
Miami is the most underrated team in the ACC and one of the most underrated in the country. 3-1 in conference with the only loss to top 10 GT. Miami has both the depth and athleticism to run a small, short dook team into the ground. Their guards will have to shut down JJ Redick's perimeter game and limit Sheldon Williams' blocks and rebounds. This is a game much like FSU v Wake last night. dook's favorable schedule has allowed them to go this far into the season undefeated and could lose to any team if their defense doesn't pick up the slack for the offense. As Thor said, this has upset all over it and Miami covers easily
GL to all and let's nail them!!
