UCLA vs Texas (Thursday 9pm on ESPN2)- Big game between the #8 and #9 ranked teams in the country. Abrams leads Texas in just about every stat and is the lynchpin of that team; however, in the process of transitioning to the point position will be tough facing one of the best perimeter PG in the Pac-10. UCLA doesn't have a known big man though with the departure of Kevin Love for the NBA. This game will be tight but I'll take the best players' team
Prediction: Texas 83 UCLA 78
Ohio State vs ND (In Indy)- This game will be closer than the experts think without Luke Harangody and the fact this is being played in an NFL arena means that the depth perception will be off and for a team that lives on the 3 like ND could run into some trouble. OSU had a nice road win at Miami but that was without McClinton and he was going off on them (12 pts in 8 min) before being ejected and McAlarney will do the same
Prediction: ND 88 OSU 82
NC State @ Davidson- Davidson has Curry, NC State has some young talent on the inside, could pose a problem but Davidson showed they can win without Curry (literally)
Prediction: Davidson 77 NC State 68
Bradley @ #12 Michigan State- MVC team playing a team coming off a loss to UNC, could be kinda slow out of the gate, Bradley can play, this seems like an upset waiting to happen.
Prediction Bradley 68 MSU 66
Florida @ Florida State- Florida didn't look good in the CBE tourney vs Syracuse but maybe their good. I'll give Florida a pass for now but they better win this road game.
Prediction: Florida 78 FSU 64
