LIVE GAMES, new shows
9am, 8pm, Pistol Pete Diaries, Episode II, FoxCollegeSports. An FCS original six-part series.
1030am, NCAA on Campus, ESPN Classic. A magazine show from the world of NCAA sports, with the stamp of approval of Big Brother (the NCAA). It would be ironic if content on this show caused an ...NCAA violation.
4pm, Boston College at Virginia Tech, ESPN. To those who think the ACC will get nine bids think again. Games like this make it impossible. Why? Because some teams have to lose. Just like the Pac-10, there are not enough wins to go around to support that many teams. Prediction: The Greenies rise to the occasion, the VaTech fans do their Coca Cola ritual all night long, and they storm the court at Blacksburg!
4pm, St Johns at Louisville, ESPN2. Watch out for the Rick Pitino Express!. The injuries (Palacios, Padgett, Jenkins, McGee) are healing, Derrick Caracter is delivering. Prediction: Cardinals by 22
430pm, 1130pm, 230am, Taking Issue with Brian Curtis, CSTV. A 30-minute weekly show taking a look at some of the controversial and high profile issues in college sports.
5pm, Penn State at Ohio State, CSN/FullCourt. In what is now becoming a consistent theme, can the Buckeyes deliver two top-level halves? If not, their March Madness chances would not be as good. Prediction: Ohio State wins
5pm, 9pm, 3am, Southern Miss at Central Florida, CSTV. Two of the most underappreciated teams in Conference USA. Turnaround Larry faces one of the largest universities (in student population). Can UCF upgrade its program to parallel its size? Prediction: Turnaround Larry wins!
6pm, Texas A&M at Oklahoma State, ESPN2. The undermanned Suttons face the overflowing bench of A&M. It's amazing how well the Cowboys played with just seven players, however NCAA bids are given based on how a team plays, and they badly need this win. Prediction: OKi State squeaks by and gets an NCAA-bid-saving win.
6pm, NC State at North Carolina, ESPN FullCourt. Prediction: Payback time or "getting owned"? The TarHeels failed to deliver a "payback" when they got swept by Virginia Tech who matches up well with the TarHeels because of their athleticism, depth and tall, strong, experienced guards (Gordon, Zabian Dowdell). However NC State has a very short rotation and I predict a payback beatdown by 30+
10pm, College Gamenight, ESPN, 20-minute edition
Repeats and Classic games
11am, from 1994, Florida State at South Carolina, ESPN Classic
12pm, from 2001, USC at UCLA, FoxCollegeSports. Steve Lavin vs Henry Bibby. The "glory days of SoCal"?
1pm, Texas Arlington at Texas A&M Corpus Cristi, FoxCollegeSports. This (A&M CC) is a team to watch. They created a big splash with some high profile wins as an independant and now they are ruling their own conference. Look out for their 6-5 mobile agile space-eater (whose name I forgot). March Madness Bracket Busting Team Alert!
5pm, 330am, Hardwood Heavens: Allen Fieldhouse, with Brett Musssburger, INHD
7pm, San Francisco at St Marys, CSN
8am Thursday, Duke at Maryland, FoxCollegeSports. Thank you FoxCollegeSports for re-airing the manhandling of the Dookies by the TerraGarys!
