Wake Forest -3.5 (-115) vs. Miami: 2.30/2 (Matchbook)
The Deacs lost this match-up earlier in the year in Coral Gables despite a chance to win it in the last seconds. This Miami team has been exposed since then, and they have struggled throughout the ACC season. A nice thing for WFU is an advantage with height on the interior, and that was with Dwayne Collins playing. He is OUT with a leg injury and it wasn't factored into the line because it just came out. Even if it was, I'm still interested in playing Wake as I think they get 2 W's in this tournament.

Marquette +5 (-106) vs. Villanova: 1.06/1 (Matchbook)

Pittsburgh -1.5 (-109) vs. Notre Dame: 1.09/1 (Matchbook)
I made this line 7, yet I'm seeing a rested Pitt team at basically a pick 'em. This worries me at first, but ND shot 55.6% from deep at home against the Panthers earlier in the year in a 15-point win. This Irish team shoots significantly worse away from their gym, and I think we'll see them struggle tonight. Harangody still doesn't look 100% to me, and I think that will benefit Gary McGhee. The Panthers need to hit some shots tonight for me to win this one, but you gotta love the defensive team in MSG where deep shots rattle out. I also enjoy Ashton Gibbs shooting 90% from the line if they're trying to close it out late.

good luck
