Josh McRoberts? Uh, No.

Yes, he plays hard. Yes, he has an attitude. But 6-10 McRoberts showed how sorry he really is by pulling down a miniscule 2 rebounds tonight as Duke struggles atVirginia.

5. UCLA: play #9 Oregon at home. Both teams have only lost 2 games this season. This is a pretty even match-up, and despite out-rebounding the Bruins in this game, the Ducks will not win. With 3 minutes to go, UCLA has a very comfortable 12-point lead over Oregon. We will be again correct as Oregon loses.

10. Duke: at Virginia. Well, we still don't think the Blue Devils are all that, and the Cavaliers play tough at home. We're going to say Virginia wins. As we noted above, a very tall Josh McRoberts was only able to grab 2 boards in this game as he continues to prove that he, and his fellow Blue Devils, are not a #10 team. This game went to OT, and the Cavaliers, as we predicted, were the victors. All that crap about Duke's McClure not playing turned out to be a huge ruse by Coach Cry, as the Duke forward did, in fact, play and even out-rebounded his fellow "star" Dookie McRoberts by 5. Virginia moved up to tie for second place in the ACC. We did say the Cavs are tough at home, and they are. Wow, the ACC Tourney will be interesting, to say the least. Go ahead and put the UNC at Duke game next Wednesday on your calendar as a "must-see" game. Turn down the volume on your TV, though, when watching as Duke Vitale will go on-and-on about how "classy" Duke is. He'll even throw in that Coach Cry has never had an NCAA violation. This will all happen as Coach Cry is using his usual array of four-letter words, including one that sounds like "truck."

17. Washington State: at #22 Arizona. Sorry Washington State, but the Wildcats will not be in the mood to lose at home after what UNC did to them. Arizona wins. Ouch. Lute Olsen wins another game at home as Washington State gets balanced scoring from their starting five to beat the Wildcats. We were dead wrong about this one.
