Lots of games worth watching today. I mean, aside from the Washington-Pitt game. Lots of games that matter for seeding and bubbles. This is ESPN’s bracketbuster weekend to add to the mid-major fun.
12pm (ESPN): Georgtown-‘Nova — Villanova beat the Hoyas in DC a month ago.
(Fox Pgh/ESPN Fullcourt): Penn St.-Wisconsin: Heh, heh-heh, heh
1pm (CBS): UCLA-Arizona: That #1 seeding and what should be a damn good game.
(ESPN Fullcourt): FSU-Virginia — Two ACC bubble teams
2pm (ESPN): Washington-Pitt.
2:30 pm (ESPN Fullcourt): Iowa-Michigan St. — Big 11 teams on the Bubble
3 pm (ESPNU): Holy Cross-Hofstra — I like any chance to boo Ralph Willard.
3:30 (ABC): UConn-Syracuse — and if you are lucky this will end up on the Full Court where you are instead and you can watch Texas A&M-Oklahoma.
4pm (ESPN2): Southern Illinois-Butler — the highlight game of bracketbusters.
(various East coast based Fox Sports channels): Seton Hall-WVU — should be a slaughter, but a chance to scout Pitt’s next opponent.
6pm (ESPN): Memphis-Gonzaga — man this one has been harshed by Heytvelt’s suspension for dope and ‘shrooms
(ESPN2): Northern Iowa-Nevada — and this game sounded so good at the start of the season.
9pm (ESPN): UNC-BC — Let’s see, they didn’t show up at home against an inferior Duke team. Now it’s another big game at home. Gak.
(ESPNU): Louisville-Marquette — Marquette’s floundering and Louisville — well, anyways… Find a bar with a satellite because this will be the better game at this time.
