Got one game that I am putting in now as I took a brief look at the games before I must go to bed. I think this line will rise when public notices it so this low number may be key for us.
UNC -3 - This team is just far too talented for all over the court for this younger Florida St team to beat. UNC will be playing for a conference championship this year and the only way they get there is to continue to take care of games like this. Florida St ranks 169th in defensive fg%, 174th in ppg allowed, and 196th in 3 pt defense. When your going against the third most efficient team on offense in the country this isn't going to cut it. While UNC is not the best defensive team in the country by any means, they have experience all over the court and have played in big games. Bryce Johnson is a beast as of late and it should be hard for FSU to compete. Clemson had a much better defense and Carolina just did not play very well against GT. I think this has some people over reacting. I understand this is their first road game in conference play but FSU's freshman guards will be playing a highly ranked UNC team for the first time in their career, and matching up against Marcus Paige all day. A premier point guard that I don't think they've seen anything like all year. This should help slow them down and wear them out. A little scare at home does the Tar Heels good the other night and they realize they must bring it and bring it every night if they want to win an ACC title. FSU has only 3 losses but haven't played too many really good teams and are 2-2 against decent to good teams. Losing to Iowa and Clemson and beating Florida and Miss St, neither of which really impress me that much. This 3 point line is too low and while I'm guessing its because of UNC's last performance and this game being at FSU, I still say UNC with Marcus Paige at the helm is too much for this FSU team to handle.
Good Luck guys!
