Wake Forest (-1) over North Carolina State
Saturday @ 4:00 PM (EST) -- Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum
Wake Forest NC State is coming off a huge win at Syracuse and now has to go on the road to play Wake Forest. NC St checks in ranked 8th in scoring in the ACC. Shots haven’t always fallen for the Wolfpack during conference play resulting in a somewhat poor resume. NC State Wolfpack are 6-18 ATS in their last 24 road games. Consistency also remains an issue. The Wolfpack are 2-10 ATS in their last 12 games following an ATS win. Wake really doesn''t take many three point shots as they prefer to torch teams the old fashion method. The Demon Deacons are the number one shooting team in terms of accuracy at 40% in conference play from long distance. NC St began the week at 2-5 on the road and should come back down to earth from having most every shot score at Syracuse. For Wake Forest, Bryant Crawford and Doral Moore have turned things around of late. Currently, Wake Forest is playing some of its best basketball of the season. The Demon Deacons gave Miami and Syracuse all they could handle on the road before coming away with a victory against Georgia Tech in their last conference game. This game should see NC St reverting back to losing on the road with Wake capturing the home game win

Saturday @ 6:00 PM (EST) -- Allen Fieldhouse
West Virginia This is NOT the Kansas team of recent years. They have a good starting five but that''s where it ends. And going up against a veteran coach like Bob Huggins of West Virginia will result in him having his team ready to give the Jayhawks 40 minutes of hell and running them out off their own court. The Mountaineers have been consistent playing solid basketball winning three of their last four games. The opposite is happening for Kansas as they are 1-5-1 ATS in their last 7 home games and 0-3-1 ATS in their last 4 games overall. At the very least for the Kansas diehards of yesteryear, West Virginia has been much more successful against the spread as Kansas hasn’t landed one home cover since beating Kansas St on January 29th. The Mountaineers Teddy Allan has gotten hot at the right time of the season to compliment the starters. Their scoring is very balanced and the Mountaineers will have the Jayhawks tongues hanging out all worn down by the last eights minutes of this game. When it comes down to coaching and playing quality teams, West Virginia is 12-5-1 (71%) ATS in their last 18 games against teams winning above 60%. Coach Huggins'' strategy and game plan will have his players mentally prepared for this foot race.
