General disclaimer: Coming off our first sub .500 night since we started keeping track of our picks, many people would give it up and go back to their real jobs. Well, I'm not most people, and I don't have a job. So just like riding a horse or shooting heroin you have to get right back on.Duke (-1.5) at North Carolina (L)
The game we originally picked last week, but was postponed due to inclement weather. Not much has changed from a week ago; Carolina still has flashes of being an elite team, Duke struggles to remain consistent, and Jabari Parker is still Mormon. This game will be decided by the shooting prowess of Parker and Rodney Hood. Carolina has talent in Marcus Paige and James Mcadoo, but they lack depth behind those two. Expect a close game throughout with Duke pulling away late in the second half.
Gonzaga (+3) at BYU (L)
This pick is purely for revenge against the state of Utah. Last night we picked them to cover against Arizona, and it should have happened until some guard (I'm not even gonna bother to look up his name) missed 4 free throws in the last two minutes of OT. Destroying our hopes and shitting on our gambling dreams. Well tonight my alma mater Gonzaga will get us our well deserved vengeance. Like the saying goes, revenge is a dish best served Mormon. GU can lock up the conference title with a win tonight against the second place cougars, and senior forward Sam Dower should help the bulldogs do just that. Look for a sloppy game that Gonzaga never loses control of, and no fewer that 8 white players on the court at all times.
