03/08/2009 - Winston-Salem, NC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Two teams jockeying for position in the ACC standings clash in Winston-Salem this evening, as the 18th-ranked Clemson Tigers tussle with the 10th-ranked Wake Forest Demon Deacons at Lawrence Joel Coliseum.
The Tigers enter the game tied with Florida State for fourth place at 9-6, but they trail Wake Forest by just one game. Clemson comes in on a winning note as well as it notched a 75-57 victory over Virginia on Tuesday. The triumph put a stop to a two-game slide and guaranteed the program back-to-back winning ACC campaigns for the first time since 1965-66 and 1966-67. Clemson's 19 ACC wins over the past two seasons are the most over a two year stretch in school history.
As for WF, it has already clinched a top four finish and opening round bye in the ACC Tournament with its 10-5 league record. The Deacons, who trail Duke by just a game for second place, have won three straight and five of their last six outings, including a 65-63 win at Maryland on Tuesday. The team now returns back home, where it has gone a healthy 13-1 thus far.
Wake leads the all-time series with Clemson, 96-52, and that includes a 78-68 victory in the first meeting of the season. The Deacons have been especially tough on the Tigers in Winston-Salem and have won the last 16 matchups between the teams at Lawrence Joel Coliseum.
The Tigers shot 50.0 percent from the floor and went 19-of-25 at the foul line, as they coasted past Virginia earlier in the week. Clemson also controlled the paint, outscoring Virginia 38-20 and holding a 36-27 advantage on the boards. Terrence Oglesby made all 10 of his free-throw attempts on his way to 18 points, while Raymond Sykes had 14 points. Trevor Booker also got into the mix, notching a double-double with 13 points and 15 rebounds. It was another strong performance by Booker, who nearly averages a double-double with team highs of 15.1 ppg and 9.7 rpg on the season. K.C. Rivers has provided a nice complement to him with 14.1 ppg and 6.2 rpg, and Oglesby chips in with 13.7 ppg on the strength of 39.9 percent shooting from three-point range. Overall, Clemson is generating a hardy 78.6 ppg, in addition to forcing opponents into 17.2 turnovers per game.
Trailing 54-48 with a little over seven minutes to play, Wake Forest went on an 11-0 run to seize control and it would hang on for the victory over Maryland on Tuesday. The Deacons shot just 39.7 percent from the floor, but overcame that by dominating the boards, 50-32, including 19-11 on the offensive glass. Jeff Teague led the charge with 17 points, while Al-Farouq Aminu recorded a double-double with 16 points and 14 rebounds. On the season, Teague has made a case for ACC Player of the Year honors, as he averages 19.6 ppg and 3.5 apg to lead Wake in both departments. He is also a factor at the other end of the floor, racking up a team-best 54 steals. James Johnson and Aminu check in with 14.4 ppg and 12.7 ppg, respectively, and they are combining for 16.6 rpg. They are the primary reason why the Deacons have been able to outrebound foes by 6.2 rpg on the season.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
