ACC Semifinal Picks
Yesterday I was 4-4 on winners. However, as my financial advisor frequent reminds me, past results are no guarantee of future performance. Here are today's picks.
Carolina over Georgia Tech: Georgia Tech played okay yesterday, but the large margin of victory over Virginia Tech also reflected the Hokies' poor performance. After barely surviving an inspired by effort Clemson yesterday, Carolina will be motivated to put today's game away by early in the second half. They need to conserve energy for the championship game. Heels by 15.
Duke over NC State: This is an interesting match up. NC State opened a big lead against Duke in their game earlier this year. But, Duke methodically came back and beat the Wolfpack. I expect State to stay in this game, but ultimately the Wolfpack's injuries seal their fate. Duke by 7.
