College Basketball on Jan. 7th

January 7th 2012 00:46
20th-ranked Marquette at Top-ranked Syracuse: The Syracuse Orangmen aim to keep on track here versus Marquette. Syracuse(16-0) are led by Kris Joseph, who averages 13 points per game. Marquette(12-3) is a team who finds a way to win at home, not so much on the road. Darius Johnson-Odom leads the team in scoring at 18 points per game. Look for a close game throughout but the Orangemen will find a way to win in the end.

6th-ranked Missouri at 22nd-ranked Kansas State: Here's an interesting game. Unbeaten Missouri(14-0) head into this game against Kansas State(12-2). The Wildcats of Kansas State are led by Rodney McGruber who averages 13 points per game. He was one of two Wildcats to score in double-figures in their loss to Kansas earlier this week. Missouri features a balanced attack keyed by Marcus Denmon. The forward averages 19 points per game. Something smells upset here, going with the Wildcats.

3rd-ranked Duke at Georgia Tech: Duke(12-2) have found their way back up around the top of men's college basketball. Freshman Austin Rivers leads the team in scoring, averaging 15 points per contest. The Blue Devils are coming off a loss to Temple on Wednesday. They are not used to losing two times in a row. Georgia Tech(7-7) has lost three straight games. The Yellow Jackets are led by guard Glen Rice Jr. who averages 13 points per game. Georgia Tech has been struggling to score points overall, making this game a difficult one to win. Duke pulls it out.

9th-ranked Georgetown at West Virginia: West Virginia(11-4) are looking for a big win in conference. This would be it if they can top Georgetown(13-1) in this game. Wake Forest forward Kevin Jones leads the conference in scoring at 19 points per game and 12 rebounds. Georgetown forward Jason Clark leads the team in scoring at 16 points per game. Look for a minor upset here, time for West Virginia and coach Bob Huggins to break through.
