College hoops season is here . . . first pick

I won my first college action of the year as L-ville drilled Arkansas, but I didn't get to post it as I got the play in at the last minute, so tonight officially begins my 2009 college basketball picks. UNC -2 vs Ohio St in MSG. I was (still am) very surprised to see this line so low. I know UNC lost A LOT, but come on, they are still loaded and everyone knows it (insert 'reload' cliche here). Yeah, Ohio St. has Turner who is a very good player, but I do not expect him to dominate against a team like UNC. Early in the year with young and relatively inexperienced teams you are always taking a risk, but that is a risk I'll gladly take with UNC giving only 2 on a neutral floor - not to mention UNC usually plays well in these situations. Ohio St is talented and I expect they may keep it close, but can't really see them winning - and if UNC wins by 1, bad break for the Chicago Kid.

Well done UNC, nice start to the b-ball season; although was it really necessary to let them get that close after dominating the game??
