Miami-Duke

News Record

The Blue Devils tend to revel in this event, and after a
six-day break following back-to-back losses, they should be jacked for any
opponent. This one just happens to be Miami.
Duke has won at least one ACC Men’s Tournament game in each of the past eight
years.

Wake Forest-NC
State

News Record

State has beaten Wake the last five times the two teams
have met in the tournament. Herb Sendek is 3-0
against Wake in postseason play.

Penn State-Ohio
State

Toledo Blade

The Buckeyes enter the
fray as the league champion, the top seed in the conference tournament and the
team everyone will be gunning for.
Penn State earned the right to face the No. 1 seeded
Buckeyes by beating Northwestern in yesterday’s first-round matchup here. Matta, who said there is always the temptation to look
beyond the Big Ten tournament and get distracted by next week’s start of the
NCAA Tournament, added that he still looks for improvement. He does not expect
any of the Buckeyes to give the Big Ten tournament less than their best,
despite their essentially guaranteed slot in the NCAA event.

Minnesota-Iowa

Des
Moines Register

Iowa and Minnesota
split their season series, with each team prevailing on its home court. The
Hawkeyes won 76-72 in triple overtime on Jan. 18 while Minnesota
posted a 74-61 win on Feb. 18.

Texas Tech-Texas

Press Notes

In the two previous meetings this year, Texas
has outscored Tech 145-90 in registering victories of 80-46 in Austin
and 65-44 in Lubbock. If the Raiders
pull off the shocker, they may rekindle slim hopes of receiving a berth in the
National Invitation Tournament. If Tech loses to the Longhorns, likely ending
its season, the Raiders will finish 15-17, the most losses Knight has endured
in one season in his 40-year career.
