11am, Syracuse at Nova, ESPN2. Nice to have win by the Cuse, must win for Villanova. Prediction: Nova wins!

1pm, Missouri at Texas A&M, CSN/FullCourt. Prediction: A&M of course
1pm, Notre Domers at Rutgers, CSN/FullCourt. Prediction: Rutgers is supposed to be tough at home, but they are hooooooorrrribbbllle this year. Prediction: Domers wins and Digger dances on the Gameday set
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?

1pm, Cincy at West Virgina, Full Court

3pm, Southern final, ESPN2

3pm, Oregon State at Oregon, ESPN Full Court. Prediction: Must not-lose for Oregon but they will get the in-state rivarly benefit of the doubt if they do lose.
4pm, USC at Washington State, FSN/Fox College Sports. 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!
430pm, 1230am, MAAC quarterfinal #3, Niagara vs Iona/Rider, FSN/Fox College Sports.
5pm, OVC final, ESPN2.

6pm, Pitt at Marquette, ESPN. Prediction: Pitt wins in overtime
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.

9pm, Midnight Madness, ESPN, with Brennan, Gotlieb and Revsine

9am, 630pm, repeat of Kevin Love's game in SoCal, Lake Oswego at Mater Dei, Fox College Sports
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, 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 ;-)
