TV Hoops: Wednesday February 7, 2007 (Rivarly Week!)

*** all times pacific; add +3 for eastern; adjust for other time zones ***
*** predictions are not the most likely outcomes ***
*** predictions attempt to catch the randomness of each game ***
*** FSN/FoxCollegeSports games may be regionally aligned. YMMV ***
*** by the law of averages, I am bound to have some incorrect listings ***
*** please double-check with your local listings ***


LIVE GAMES

  • Look for likely extended coverage of Duke/Carolina on all the daily shows on ESPN, from SportsCenter, Cold Pizza, PTI, Around the Horn, Jim Rome, Quite Frankly, the Hot List (ESPN News), etc, etc
  • 4pm, Georgetown at Louisville, ESPN. Not a rivarly, but promises to be interesting. Prediction: Georgetown wins.
  • 4pm, Illinois at Northwestern, ESPN2. Granted it's a rivarly game but if Illinois really needs this one. Prediction: Illinois gets it
  • 4pm, Pitt at West Virginia, CSN/FullCourt. Funny how ESPN dropped this game and instead went with Illinois/Northwestern, when this game is a lot more fun to watch and a lot more relevant in the grand scheme of things. Prediction: The 1-3-1 confuses Pitt (i'm starting to sound like Digger Phelps) and Beilein wins!
  • 5pm, 3am, Houston at SMU, CSTV. Prediction: The severely overrated Matt Doherty loses by 20+ to Turnaround Tom
  • 5pm, Hardwood Heavens: The Smith Center, on INHD. Appropriate to show it the day of Duke/Carolina.
  • 6pm, Kansas State at Kansas, CSN/FullCourt. After Billy Walker went down a lot of people (including me) wrote off this season's team. But don't count out Huggie-Bear! He managed to make them competitive and now they could easily come away with a W at Allen Fieldhouse. Everyone else seems to be able to do so... Prediction: Kansas wins
  • 6pm, GAME OF THE MONTH!, yes of the month, with Dick Vitale, NORTH CAROLINA at DUKE, on ESPN. Prediction: North Carolina wins rather comfortably by at least 7. Beat the Dookies Ole Roy!
  • 7pm, TCU at UNLV, CSTV. A resurgent Mountain West is starting to make noise again. UNLV wins.
  • 730pm, The Battle for Los Angeles, on FSN/FoxCollegeSports, USC at UCLA. Wild Prediction Alert!: USC wins!. This time Tim Floyd manages to outfox the wrestlemania Bruins and the sideline-violation-technical-waiting-to-happen Ben Howland.
  • 940pm, 940am, College gamenight on ESPN



    Repeats and classics
  • 11am, from 2004, Duke at North Carolina, an overtime game, ESPN Classic
  • 11am, Oregon State at UCLA, FoxCollegeSports, a blowout victory. Meet the UCLA bench players
  • 12pm, 6am, StFrancis (Pa) at robert morris, FoxCollegeSports
  • 3pm, 9am thur, washington state at arizona state, FoxCollegeSports, a bizarre low-scoring game
  • 5pm, pacific at long beach state, FoxCollegeSports, a blowout W and a jersey retirement
  • 1130pm, santa clara at st mary's, CSN
  • 1130pm, 330am, Florida State at Duke, FoxCollegeSports. JJ Redick's jersey retirement party spoiled (THANKFULLY) by Florida State who deserved to win last season's game at Cameron Opendoor stadium. Thank you Florida State. Tape this game, save it, TiVo it, burn it on DVD! It's awesome baby!
  • 1230am, Air Force at San Diego State, CSTV
  • 7am Thursday, SF at Gonzaga, FoxCollegeSports
  • 11am Thursday, from 1992, Arizona at Stanford, ESPN Classic. Thursday is Pac-10 day so ESPN celebrates it with the only Pac-10 games it has access too. Old games :-)
