30 DIMER - WAKE FOREST DEMON DEACONS

I will answer the question I posed on my home page...Wake Forest will blow this team out! I know the Deacons haven't been anywhere near where they were earlier this season, but this is still a team that held down the #1 ranking in the land for a cup of coffee, and I think today's opponent is tailor-made for a game that may stay close for a while, but gets outta control late.Cleveland State did take the Horizon Tournament, but the Horizon was most definitely in a down year this year, and it is likely the Vikings are going back home with a double-digit loss hung on them.Wake has covered 5 of their last 7 when laying points, and they cover tonight, as the Demon Deacons show why they were once ranked #1 in the nation with the ringing win tonight.

10 DIMER - FLORIDA STATE SEMINOLES
I saw enough of Wisconsin on TV this season to know they will not win this game against Florida State.The Badgers simply don't have a reliable enough offense to avoid going into a 5-minute drought or so, which they seem to do at least twice a game.Florida State served notice with a solid run in the ACC tournament that they can play with the best of them, and after tangling with mighty North Carolina, playing Wisconsin will seem like a walk in the park.
The Badgers did drop 3 of their final 5 games straight up, and 4 of those 5 against the spread.
Have to side with the Sems minus the small impost,
as I have a feeling Florida State is sticking around for another dance.


10 DIMER - BOSTON COLLEGE EAGLES
Yesterday the Cal Golden Bears of the Pacific 10 were a slight favorite over the ACC's Maryland Terrapins, and the Terps controlled that game for just about the full 40 minutes.Today we have another slight Pac 10 favorite in USC going up against another team from the ACC.
You see where I am going with this?
Boston College has beaten Duke, and North Carolina already this season, and I am just not sure why they are getting no love against a team that I feel is the "chic" "it" team right now.Yes, the Trojans did take the Pac 10 tourney, but they has lost 6 of 9 coming into that tournament, so the G-Man sure as shit ain't sold on Tim Floyd's crew.
I am backing BC in this one.


Today's Complimentary Selection
G-Man on a 7-3 comp play run entering Friday's action.
After watching both number one seeds destroy the competition yesterday, I have a feeling Louisville will follow suit tonight with a destruction of Morehead State.The Eagles won the play-in game on Tuesday, but only netted 58-points in doing so. In fact, Morehead has been in the 60's or less in 3 in a row, and 5 of their last 6.
I have a feeling State is going to have a very hard time keeping pace with this Louisville team.
Don't be surprised if Louisville ends this game in triple-digits the way # 1's Connecticut, and North Carolina did yesterday.
The Redbirds have won 10 straight, and they have covered their last 4, and 8 of their last 10.
Pitino's team is playing with an energy level that will see them in Detroit before long.
Go right ahead and lay this big number, as the 'Ville makes their statement on Friday night.

4♦ LOUISVILLE
