15 Dime Buffalo - Residing in a four-way tie for first playce with Akron, Miami O andBowling Green, I'm going to lay the three-pointer in this one and bankon the Bulls to make a push for the East Division's top seed. Bigthings taking place in Northwest New York these days, as Turner Gillturned the football program around, and now the basketball team isenjoying success. I know the RedHawks are tough, but to have to travelto Buffalo after a scrappy 50-45 overtime win over Bowling Green onThursday, I don't see too much left in the tank. The Bulls are steamingmad in coming off a 77-71 overtime loss at Kent State on Thursday, andwith a win against Miami, the Bulls would earn their first everfirst-round bye in the MAC Tournament. Bank on the Bulls to avengeThursday's loss with a huge win tonight.
15 Dime Troy State - I've thought this team had the best to winthe tournamnt title since day 1, and in getting a pick'em game here, Idon't see a problem in rolling with the Trojans for a blowout tonight.The Trojans came into the postseason tournament red hot, having won 12of their last 13 games with their sole loss coming by 1 point atFlorida International. Now they're on their way to making a run at thetitle and a berth into the Big Dance. South Alabama doesn't have enoughto challenge Troy on offense, and certainly doesn't have the talent topenetrate that stingy defense. Take the bottom team in this bracket.
15 Dime Florida State - I had the 'Noles against Duke, andthey've been good to me all season. Let's take them on the final day ofthe season, as they would earn the No. 4 seed by beating Virginia Techtoday, while a loss could drop the Seminoles to sixth. And even thoughI know the Hokies need this win in order to even be considered for thepostseason, this is a manageable number to achieve at home. ToneyDouglas' floater on Feb. 21 gave the 24th-ranked Seminoles the 67-65win over Va Tech the lasttime they met, and the Hokies roll in offback-to-back losses to Duke and North Carolina. That's not exactly theway you want to come in to a must-win game. The Hokies are too beat upby now, the Noles will roll.
