Big Games Tonight

Tonight's schedule of games has some big match ups that could affect conference races as the season wraps up.

First up you have #4 Duke hosting North Carolina St, this isn't going to be a pushover game for Duke.  The Wolfpack will go into Cameron Indoor and give the Dukies a run for their money but look for Duke to close them out in the final 2 minutes.

#17 Wisconsin @ #8 Michigan St. 
Interesting match up between two teams trying to win the Big 10, after their first meeting this year went into OT, expect another thriller.  Both teams are going to need their superstars to have big games tonight, Draymond Green for the Spartans and Jordan Taylor for the Badgers.  We are going with the home town Spartans in this one but it will be going down to the last shot.

Virginia Tech @ #21 Florida St.
After a disappointing loss last week for the Seminoles, look for them to easily handle the Hokies, especially with this one being played in Tallahassee.

Oregon @ Cal
The Ducks are coming off a sweep of the Washington schools and will look to carry that momentum to Cal and  knock of the Bears at home.  This game has huge conference title implications, with Cal tied for first with Washington and Oregon in tie for second with Arizona.  Depending on what happens this weekend as all four of the top teams will play each other, the top of the conference could get a new look come Sunday.  Look for the Ducks to knock of the Bears and continue their hot streak.

West Virginia @ Pitt
Normally the Backyard Brawl has some Big East title implications, but it is easy to say it has been a down year for both teams.  Both still could win their way into March with strong finishes but they will need a lot of help.  Last time they played about two weeks ago, West Virginia blew a lead at home and will look to avenge that loss tonight.  Look for this one to go down to the wire with the Mountaineers pulling it out.
