LIVE GAMES, new shows!

4pm,OJ Mayo mania on ESPN2!. Huntington of West Virginia has two of the top players of the class of 2007 hosts Saint Patrick's of New Jersey. The other top player being also the top uncommitted player of the class, Patrick Patterson. More at Recruiting Wars

4pm, Rice at Memphis, ESPN. High-scoring machine Morris Almond of Rice goes up against the AASAA Tigers of John Calipari. A road trip for the (Midnight) Madness trio of Tom Brennan, Doug Gottlieb and Dave Revsine. Prediction: Memphis by 22

430pm, 730pm, 12am, Seth Davis Generation Next, Episode IV, on CSTV.

5pm, 9pm, 1am, Temple at Saint Joseph, CSTV. Goon-Gate but without the two protagonists of Goon-gate. Fran D is actually letting the players run and gun a little bit more than Chaney ;-)

6pm, Duke at CLEMSON, ESPN. Go Clemson! Beat the Dookies! Because if you don't beat the D00kies, it's Hello NIT!. Prediction: Duke wins on a controversial call at the end of the game (sounds familiar?) Unlike Arizona or Oregon who have better chances of surviving a losing end of their season because of signature out of conference wins, Clemson has 17-0 vs the cupcakes. And as we have seen from years past the selection cmte will give the edge to the teams with the toughest schedule.

6pm,Washington at Oregon State, FSN/FSN+/FoxCollegeSports. For all of today's Pac-10 games the listings can be sketchy, so check with your local stations to find out exactly what is shown in your region. All four Pac-10 games are available nationwide on Fox College Sports tonite. Prediction: Washington wins because they must.

730pm, California at UCLA, FSN/FSN+/FoxCollegeSports (FCS). A 30-minute pre-game show (7pm) and a 30-minute post-game show will air on FCS and some regional FSNs. Prediction: CALIFORNIA PULLS THE UPSET!. Most likely outcome: UCLA wins by 19

730pm, Stanford at USC, FSN/FSN+/FoxCollegeSports. Interesting game on paper. Could turn into a slugfest. Prediction: Stanford bigs beat up the Trojans and win!

8pm, Washington State at Oregon, FSN/FSN+/FoxCollegeSports. Must win game for the Mighty Ducks of Nike. They beat Georgetown and Nebraska is slugfests so they have it in them this year. Can they do it against the Fighting Tony Bennetts? Prediction: Yes!

9pm, 9am, College Gamenight, ESPN. The west-coast-bias edition (or so they claim)
