For those of you who don't know, I'm Matt Leach, and as Teddy mentioned, I will be a contributor once in awhile to the Concentric Sports Network...
PU at MSU- This was a great way for the Spartans to finish their season, as they didn't really even need to win this game. MSU already won the outright Big Ten conference title with the win at Indiana this past week, and have now won 5 straight games going into the postseason. MSU's outstanding point guard Kalin Lucas had 21 points, as this was the Spartans first outright conference title since 1999. Congrats, guys!
VT at FSU- Virginia Tech just hurt their chances even more at making the field of 65, just as Maryland did yesterday. Tony Douglas led the Seminoles to victory with 22 points, as FSU has now secured an opening round bye in the ACC tournament...
DUKE at UNC- This was similar to the first meeting between these two rivals, as Duke lead 39-38 at halftime. Duke shot nearly 60% from the floor in the first half, but went cold in the 2nd half. This game was extremely close the whole way, as neither team could get up by more than 7 points most of the game. This was a very emotional day for the Carolina seniors, especially foward Tyler Hansbrough, as it was the seniors last game at the Dean Smith Center. North Carolina proved in both meetings that they were the better and more talented team this year. Jon Scheyer didnt miss from the field for Duke today, going 7 for 7 with 24 points. Ty Lawson light up Duke like he did at Cameron Indoor, but he made some key shots in the end to secure the win for Carolina.
As the regular season nearly comes to a close, there is a great chance that there may be three #1 seeds from the Big East! Many think that the #1 seeds will be Pitt, Uconn, UNC, and L'ville...we'll see what championship week brings! Selection Sunday is just right around the corner!
