Kansas vs Kansas State: This game is really tempting the take the wildcats because of how well they play against Kansas and how they play above their talent level against big time opponents ( Oklahoma). But for how well Kansas has played of late and how this is a chance to really extend themselves from the rest of the pack. I think KU will pull away late.

Kansas 77 – KState 72

Duke vs Louisville: Louisville may be a kryptonite to duke. Duke is a high powered offense with allen and Ingram, but Louisville is a stingy defense and they play very well on their home court, so they get the win.

66 louisville – 62 Duke

Xavier at georgetown: This is the shot for Georgetown to save their season and can really be a bid stealer from a more deserving team because usually the last thing you see is the thing that will resinate with you and the same will occur with the NCAA. But that is only IF they win this game and I think they pull it off against a slightly overrated but deep xavier team. Georgetown by a layup.

Xavier 76 – Georgetown 78

Miami vs North Carolina: This, in which a week ago was a great resume win, is now a must win to keep up in the ACC which is now Miami’s to lose. I think UNC does win because they are the deeper more talented team.

78 UNC – Miami 73

Oklahoma vs West Virginia: Oklahoma has gone through a little bit of a cold start to February with Kansas and Texas Tech. West Virginia is cruising along as usual with their pressure defense and they will force enough turnovers to win the game.

Oklahoma 70 – West Virginia 74
