Tonight, the annual 2K Sports Coaches Vs. Cancer tournament starts in New York City. As usual, this mini-tournament features many top rate teams and programs. This year's edition features #4 North Carolina, #12 California, #15 Ohio State, and #24 Syracuse.
The 7pm game is between California(2-0) and Syracuse(2-0). This game is important for both teams. Syracuse is trying to prove itself as a true top25 team. Earlier this season, they lost to cross town rival LeMoyne in a exhibition. Although the game didn't count in the record books, it has brought a lot of questioning to whether or not Syracuse is overrated. California wants to do good in this game to show everyone in the PAC10 that they are the team to beat. California is currently the highest ranked team in the PAC10 and is poised to make a deep run in the NCAA tournament this year.
The second game of the double header tonight features Ohio State(2-0) taking on North Carolina(3-0). The main story-line of this game about the main stars on each team playing on the big stage at Madison Square Garden in New York City. North Carolina is led by senior forward Deon Thompson who is averaging 17.7 points-per-game and and 8.3 rebounds-per-game. He is ready for the spotlight to be on him for the first time in his career and he will be opposed by Ohio State star Evan Turner. Turner leads Ohio State in every major category except for blocks. These stars will definitely be in the spotlight in New York City. It shall be interesting which star comes out on top.
Prediction:
California vs. Syracuse: California 82-74
Ohio State vs. North Carolina: North Carolina 88-76
