BYU won by one at Gonzaga last year, lost by 3 at homeand lost by 4 in the tourney. Teams that are 20-0 SU or better are just 27-47-1 ats since 1990. BYU is led by Eric Mika at 20.8 ppg, 10 rb's and 2 blocks per game. Both Emery and Haws can make 3's and are scoring 13.5 ppg. I think we see BYU stay within 10.

Center Tony Bradley is out with an injury and he is a solid defensive player. Backups for UNC can struggle to score. Pinson has failed to make a field goal in two games back and Britt, Maye, Woods and Robinson all shoot around 35%. FSU has lost just one game but has played few true road games. They beat Virginia 60-58. FSU has some solid scorers like Bacon (17.8 ppg), isaac, and Mann. Xavier Rathan-Mayes averages 11 per game but is scoring over 30 vs. UNC. Both teams like to play fast.

10* over 152.5 Both teams played unders on Saturday. Clemson has 5 players scoring 10 ppg or more and led by Blossomgame. The Tigers just played a home game with UNCW that ended 87-73 (160 points). Earlier games with Xavier made it to 160 and up to 173 against Davidson. UNC is off a road loss at Ga Tech. The game started with a fast pace and the announcers talked about the game being on pace to be in the 80's. Both teams became cold, especially the Tar Heels. I expect Jackson 17.4 ppg, Berry 14 ppg, Meeks 12.7 ppg and Hicks 12 ppg to play better. Roy Williams likes to play fast. UNC's early ACC road game last year with FSU ended 106-90 (196 points). Clemson played home games with FSU (84-75) and Notre Dame (89-83) that were high scoring. I think we see an over on Tuesday.

Baylor vs.Boise State 10* Baylor +8.5 The Baylor Bears have had some problems to deal with, including the firing of coach Art Briles. They were able to put up some huge offensive numbers this year in the Big 12 which is much better than BSU's conference. Baylor was able to beat UNC last year in their bowl by using a wide receiver at QB and set a record for rushing yards in a bowl. I expect them to be motivated and put up nice numbers and stay within a TD vs. a Boise State team that did lose a few games after a hot start.
