PICK: Duke Blue Devils vs North Carolina Tar Heels

Annually the best game of the year. Both teams playing at their peak (unlike that UK vs FL game). North Carolina is still my hot team to win every game. Poodle Picks: NORTH CAROLINA

PICK: NORTH CAROLINA VS GEORGIA TECH

Last weekend, my five biscuits lock pick of the weekend was North Carolina to romp all over Maryland, that the Tar Heels were playing the most consistent basketball in the nation no way they could lose to the Terrapins. What happens? The pull a royal choke, blowing a double digit lead and lose in overtime. But a Poodle never wavers!! I still believe in all my heart that North Carolina is the best team in the Nation and should be the #1 overall seed when the tournament seeding are selected in a couple of weeks. I'll stick with the Tar Heels.

Poodle Pick: North Carolina not to choke two weeks in a row.

PICKS: NCAA Basketball Weekend of February 21st and 22nd

Several Games:

Syracuse vs. Villanova - I've had luck with Arizona Wildcats so I'll try them with Villanova. Should be the best game of the weekend. Villanova Wildcats to win.

North Carolina vs. Maryland - Clearly North Carolina is the best team in the nation. They should romp all over Maryland. North Carolina to win.

Illinois vs. Ohio State - don't look for a high score game - but look to Ohio State to pull out an upset. Ohio State to win.

Michigan State vs. Wisconsin - Michigan State is the elite team of the Bin Ten. I see them win by a large margin. Michigan State to win

Indiana vs. Purdue - Going to give Purdue another shot. Purdue not to lose.
