Judgment Week: Saturday February 24, 2007
730am, Basketball Weekly with Bob Wenzel, CSTV
8am, College Gameday, AM edition, ESPN
8am, Three point club, CSTV. SEC preview
8am, Siena at Marist, ESPN2. Watch or tape this game if you have not seen Jared Jordan play yet. You will sound like a genius when you discuss the upcoming NBA draft with your friends. This guy is a potential triple-double, although he doesn't look it.
830am, Courtside with Rick Pitino, CSTV. Includes some very basic Xs and Os breakdown of upcoming Big East opponents, of interest to hoop junkies and current/aspiring coaches
9am, Syracuse at Providence on ESPN. Zone Wars 2007!. Both teams are known for their zone defense. Prediction: Providence wins!
9am, Oklahoma State at Texas Tech, CBS. A Big 12 bracket buster game! Prediction: Texas Tech!
10am, College of Cremins at Georgia Southern, ESPN2. College of Charleston was a mid-major darling before mid-majors became mainstream darlings (eg Gonzaga).
11am, Pitt at Georgetown, ESPN. NCAA seeding is in play!. Prediction: Georgetown delivers a beatdown and exposes Pitt to those who think Pitt is an elite 8 team :-)
11am, Illinois at Penn State, ESPN. Prediction: After two moral victories against Oden State, the Fighting Paternos get a real W against the off-court troubled Illini (injuries, accidents, DUI, NCAA-deemed-offensive mascot).
1230pm, regional action on ABC: , Georgia Tech at Virginia, Marquette at Notre Dame, and Gonzaga at San Francisco. Predictions: All three road teams win! After the games are over "Free Ticket Inside College Basketball" airs (3pm). Airtime may vary depending on timezone.
1230pm, Pistol PEte Diaries, FoxCollegeSports
1pm, Florida at LSU. This sounded like a great game when CBS came up with their schedule. Now it's the Desperate Bradys vs the Galloping Gators. Prediction: Florida by a lot
1pm, Rutgers at Nova. Mr Jersey is a couple of years away from being competitive and fending off schools like Nova from grabbing the top level Jersey-area talent. Prediction: Nova by a lot
1pm, Texas at Oklahoma, CSN/FullCourt. Prediction: Texas wins, Kevin Durant triple double with 32 points, 13 rebounds, 11 blocks, 7 assists, 4 steals, 6 turnovers.
1pm, 630am Sun, Southern Miss at Tulane, CSTV. Post-Katrina Tulane faces post-alcoholic Turnaround Larry Eustachy. Prediction: Southern Miss by 8
2pm, The Valley of Darkness:, Wichita State at Creighton, ESPN2. Prediction: Debbie Downer-Whiner (aka Mark Turgeon) would love to win this game. But he won't because Creighton got the funk!
2pm, 1am, Florida International at Western Kentucky, FoxCollegeSports. Prediction: Home team wins!
3pm (or a bit later), Free Ticket Inside College basketball presented by Chase Freedom on ABC. Featured: Wisconsin Badgers
3pm, Iowa State at Kansas, ESPN. Prediction: Kansas wins by 44!. Iowa State coaches cries in a towel like Josh Cry-Baby McRoberts.
3pm, midnight: BYU at SDSU, CSTV. Prediction: A MWC bracket buster game. SDSU must win this game and they will.
3pm, 1am, 5am, Stanford at UCLA. Prediction: The Lopez twins are strong enough to protect the paint, the threes are not falling for the Bruins and they lose their first home game of the season.
5pm, 11pm, Cal at USC, FSN/CSN/FoxCollegeSports. Prediction: USC wins but just barely. The whispers of DeVon Hardin making a return get stronger and they are not attributed to the 420 cloud hovering above Berkeley ;-)
5pm, Gameday pre-game edition, ESPN. With Bilas, Phelps, Davis (Rece and Hubert), Katz, Erin and Dookie Vitale.
6pm, Indiana at Michigan State, ESPN with Dick Vitale. Izzo starts crying again. It worked the last time when they beat Wisconsin as it got his team a lot of media attention and got him lots of interviews on ESPN and such. Prediction: Izzo wins and cries too.
7pm, McNeese at Lamar, FoxCollegeSports
730pm, 7am, Washington at Oregon, FSN/FoxCollegeSports. Both teams need the win. They want the win. Prediction: Oregon will get it.
730pm, Santa Clara at Loyola Marymount, CSTV. Dick Davey won't go away quietly. Prediction: SCU wins on the road.
9pm, Midnight Madness, ESPN. The day is not over until Tom Brennan, Doug Gottlieb and Dave Revsine recap the action and provide a fresh(er) perspective from the tired and predictable (to some) routine of Vitale, Bilas and Phelps.
ESPN Full Court: 20 games today! Check the ESPN website or local listings for channel numbers and airtimes. Games shown: Cincy at DePaul, Purdue at Northwestern, Tennessee at Arkansas, Clemson at Boston Collage, Missouri at Nebraska, Baylor at Texas A&M, Michigan at Minnesota, all three regional ABC games (great idea ESPN, I wish CBS did this with CSTV), Texas at Oklahoma, Kansas State at Colorado, Auburn at Alabama, Ole Miss at South Carolina, Arkansas State at Arkansas Little rock, South Florida at Seton Hall (someone has to win), Wisc Milw vs Green Bay (no Brett Favre), Illinois Chicago vs Loyola chicago, Fresneck State at New Mexico State.
Judgment Week: Sunday February 25, 2007
6am, Game of the Week replay, ESPN Classic. The ESPN braintrust selects the game for replay. The game chosen is sometimes announced at the end of Midnight Madness on late Saturday
830am, Hardwood Heavens: Allen Fieldhouse of Kansas on INHD with Brett Musburger.
9am, Louisville at UConn, CBS. UConn wants the win so they can make the tourney (the Big East tourney that is). Prediction: L-Ville continues to roll and squeaks by the young huskies.
11am, Duke at StJohns or Houston at Memphis, CBS. Prediction: Duke and Memphis, but Norm Roberts please beat the Dookies!!! Memo to CBS: I'd rather watch the Memphis game. Please show the alternate game on CSTV now that CSTV is part of CBS Sports. It's common sense! ESPN does it with ABC regional games on ESPN Full Court.
1pm, GAME OF THE WEEKEND!, Wisconsin at Ohio State. The last game of the CBS triple-header. Ohio State has been shaky (see two Penn State games) while Wisconsin has shown they are not invincible. Prediction: Ohio State with Oden getting his first triple double in double overtime.
1pm, repeat of yesterday's Fresno State at New Mexico State, CSN. Your chance to watch the Reggie Theus all-transfer squad before they play in the NCAA/NIT tourney.
2pm, ACC Sunday Night Homer Hoops, FSN/FoxCollegeSports
230pm, North Carolina at Maryland, FSN/FoxCollegeSports. While the Wisconsin/Ohio State game promises to be the game of the week, this promises to be the most entertaining game of the weekend. Prediction: Carolina wins 105-101 (no overtime)
5pm, Arizona at Arizona State, FSN/FoxCollegeSports. Normally a one-sided non-rivarly rivarly game but after Iona Tech got its first victory and Arizona is stumbling even at home, this may actually be competitive (perhaps for a half). Prediction: Arizona wins.
530pm, Iona at Manhattan, FSN/FoxCollegeSports/FullCourt. Prediction: Manhattan wins and Jeff Ruland gets even angrier inside.
9pm, 130am, College gamenight, on ESPN. It gets a rare late night repeat even.
ESPN Full Court: 3 games today: Boston U at Albany, Kentucky at Vandy (payback game?), Iona at Manhattan
