  • 1pm, Atlantic Sun final, ESPN2
  • 1pm, Ohio State at Michigan, CBS. Interestingly CBS decided to pick up this wildcard game instead of the MSU at Wisconsin. They are smelling a bid-clinching win by Ann Arbor?

Prediction: A win would give the Cougars a clear #2 slot and seed in the Pac 10 tourney and another good win and a chance to take out their frustrations after the UCLA game disaster, a game that was hyped for over two weeks in Pullman. USC is smarting after losses @ASU and @Washington, but Tim Floyd may be able to steal this one. USC wins!
  • 4pm, 9pm, Cal State Northridge (the Harvard of SoCal) at UCSB, FSN/Fox College Sports.
  • 430pm, 5am, Utah at BYU, CSTV. Once upon a time this was a game of nationwide interest, now, without Majerus, it's just another in-state rivarly game. Prediction: BYU wins!

  • 630pm, 7am, Memphis at SMU, CSTV. Prediction: SMU will hang tough the first 10 minutes, but then they will be steamrolled by the Calipari Express. Memphis closes the conference season undefeated and with a 19-game winning streak
  • 7pm, New Mexico State at Nevada, ESPN2. Game of the day!. After an overtime loss at Logan/Utah, Nevada really wants to end the regular season with a nice W against the Reggie Theus Aggies, in a game that could be replayed next week in the conference tourney. The Aggies can make a lot of noise by stealing this one on the road. Prediction: New Mexico State wins in a very exciting game.

    Sunday March 4, 2007

  • 9am, Hardwood Heavens: Illinois's Assembly Hall, INHD
  • 9am, Kentucky at Florida, CBS. Prediction: All of a sudden this game just got more important. Florida is struggling and beating KY would put them back on track. Likewise for Kentucky along with the increasing fan-noise about Tubby and the recent losses. Prediction: Florida comfortably wins and regains their mojo
  • 9am, 11am, America East semifinals, ESPN Full Court
  • 11am, MVC Final, CBS. The Valley of Darkness gets its high profile CBS games. Will Billy Packer be the one calling it? :-)
  • 12pm, 11pm, Boston College at Georgia Tech, FSN/Fox College Sports. An ACC bracket buster! Hot after their manhandling of the TarHeels, Georgia Tech can make a solid impression on the cmte and get a nicer seed by beating BC. BC on the other hand will get a nice boost to their post-SeanWilliams resume if they beat the Jackets who just manhandled the Tar Heels. Prediction: Georgia Tech wins by 22 and sends BC deper into the bubble
  • 1230pm, 5am, Sunshine Final, FSN/Fox College Sports. Sunshine is a Division 2 conference in (you guessed it) Florida
  • 1230pm, 230pm, CAA semifinals, ESPN Full Court
  • 1pm, DUKE at NORTH CAROLINA, CBS. Game of the weekend!. Prediction: North Carolina takes out all the recent frustrations on Duke and beats them by 41 :-) (ha! take that dookies ;-)
