Maui Semifinals
* 4pm: Memphis vs Georgia Tech must see TV!. Space-eater Pierre Niles can potentially give Memphis something they lacked last year: a space-eater who can punish opporents in the paint and potentially in half-court sets. This of course assuming Pierre Niles gets in shape and makes progress as set forth by Calipari. GaTech's power-duo is Crittendon and Thaddeus Young (projected lottery pick in the NBA 2007 draft)- on ESPN. Prediction: Memphis

* around 630pm: Kentucky vs UCLA. The two winningest programs in the country. Since they are no longer playing each other, the Maui invitational people made sure they would meet in the semifinals. They gave them the easiest assignments to guarantee this matchup. Also on ESPN. Prediction: Kentucky


CBE/Guardians Classic Final
* 7pm: Duke vs Marquette on ESPN2. Prediction: Duke. Hope for: Marquette. The look of defeat of Coach K's smug-face is PRICELESS!


Other games
