If you love college hoops, it's a great week. There will be the usual buzzer beaters and heart-stopping action as the Big East, Big 10, Big XII, Pac 10, and, of course, the ACC host their annual conference championships.
Today's matchups will feature the Big East, as the ESPN TV Schedule shows. Will the early round action feature any truly amazing action? It could. The best game of the entire week could be tipping off in less than four hours. ESPN will air the Syracuse vs. Villanova contest at noon. Both teams need to win to have any NCAA hopes. Truthfully, both teams need a couple of wins during the Big East Tournament. Both teams come into the contest with nineteen victories, but also have lost over ten games.
Other notable games to watch include Providence vs. West Virginia and Cincinnati vs. Pittsburgh, both games will be televised live on ESPN, with the former game to be played a half-hour after the conclusion of the Syracuse vs. Villanova game, and the Bearcats vs. Panthers taking place at 7pm.
If you really like Pac 10 hoops, then the late night action between Oregon State and Arizona piques your interest. The game begins at 11:30pm. Note: the Beavers have lost 20 games in a row. One must be a truly big college basketball fan to want to watch them play. Wow. Arizona, however, is much like Syracuse and Villanova. They are on the proverbial NCAA Tournament bubble. The Wildcats are 18-13 overall, but only 3-7 during the final ten games of their regular season schedule. Without a long run in the Pac 10 Tournament, the Wildcats are likely headed to the NIT.
Today's beginning leads to tomorrow's onslaught of college hoops action. Let the games begin!
