I pick 'Heels, fade 'Horns
Last day of the college hoops regular season, and I've taken BAYLOR(+8.5)over texas, OVER 128. Texas had something to play for if Kansas lost, but since the Jayhawks won earlier, the 'Horns have 2nd place in the Big XII locked up regardless of the outcome in Waco tonight. Texas has also lost three of their last four games. Baylor needs to win this game to get to 8-8 in the Big XII, and a win over Texas could be their ticket into the NCAA tournament. Last year the Bears were 3-0 over the Longhorns as well. Of course, last year Texas underachieved, while Baylor overachieved their way to an Elite Eight finish, and this year the tables have turned, so....
Meanwhile, I've taken NORTH CAROLINA(-1)over duke. Accuscore has Duke winning by about two on average, but I'd rather have the home team in a tight game. The two teams have identical 13-2 records in ACC play, so this game will determine the ACC Championship. It's games like these that the truly great teams manage to win on the road. Is Duke great? Maybe. I'm a little more concerned with UNC's mediocre showing last year, but in college things change in a hurry.
