That thing in the preseason is nice and all, but we've got some ACC/B10 matchups set to unfold when it REALLY matters.
Dook vs MSU
NC St vs Wisconsin
Winners head to the Elite 8, losers head home.

I think the Big-10 wins both of those matches, but they are still not even close to as good as the ACC as a whole.
I cannot see an inconsistent team like NC State winning 3 games in a row over quality competition. Wisconsin will win 64-61.
As for the Duke/MSU game, this is probably the most interesting game of the tourney. It pretty much will come down to whether or not Dook shoots lights out from the perimeter like they did the 1st time these teams played. Reddick is due for a big game, though.
But I think MSU, even though they are very soft, will use their depth to their advantage. Duke has better ball handlers and Reddick is the best player on the court, but MSU will wear them down in the end.
Spartans 69
Dukies 65

Good call...plus, UNC (assuming they win tonight) will get Wisconsin in the Elite 8. I'm not pulling for the 'Heels but certainly the hopes of the ACC rest with them now. I wasn't surprised to see Wisconsin win tonight...obviously, I would've liked the Duke-MSU game to go the other way.
