My Prediction...

If you read my comment box a couple of posts ago you probably saw that I predicted that UNC would beat OSU 74-71 in a sloppy game. Well, UNC won 77-74 (IM SO AWESOME) and WOW it was really sloppy at some points. There were 35 total turnovers (most of which were just stupid passes) including 10 from one OSU player alone. There were alot of dropped passes and rebounds and both team struggled on the free throw line.

Todays prediction - UNC beats Syracuse 91-84 in a really fast paced game.

#1 Kansas and #2 Michigan State avoid upsets.

Last, night, I got to watch the college basketball game between #2 Michigan State and unranked Gonzaga. The Zags are my second favorite team because my mom's side of the family cheers for them (which you probably realized if you read my uncles comments on my mom's blog and mine.) The Spartans were heavy favorites to win (they were at home) but the Zags dominated early, taking a five point half-time lead, and then extending it to ten points in the second half. But Michigan State stormed back, winning a close game, 75-71. (sorry uncle W) I missed the game between #1 Kansas and another unranked team, Memphis. That also turned out to be a great game, but no upset. Kansas won 57-55.

If you missed these, and really wan't to see a good game, check out #6 UNC (GO HEELS!!!) as they visit #15 Ohio State tomorrow at 9:00 p.m. ET.

If you wan't to watch a really good football game this weekend, try the 1-8 Cleveland Browns and the 1-8 Detroit Lions... OK, just kidding. How about two under-achieving 5-4 teams, the Atlanta Falcons at the New York Giants.

Defending a National Title

UNC began the defense of their national title last night, with a relatively easy victory over the Isiah Thomas coached FIU Panthers, taking a 16 point lead at the half and cruising to an 88-72 victory. The big number was rebounding, they out rebounded the undersized Panthers 42-21, led by All-American preseason pick Ed Davis's 11 rebounds. Deon Thompson led in scoring with 20 points and 10 rebounds, Davis had 13, with Ty Zeller and Marcus Ginyard scoring 12 each. Marvin Roberts led FIU with 18 points.

LETS GO HEELS!!!
