College Basketball Game to Watch For Tomorrow
January 21st 2011 18:10
These are some games that I like this weekend.
Kentucky @ South Carolina: Kentucky off a loss at Alabama to go to 2-2 in the SEC. All of their losses have come on the road. A surprising South Carolina is in 1st place in the SEC East and helping them is freshman Bruce Ellington. Pick: Kentucky
Villanova @ Syracuse: After both teams losing MLK day, Syracuse to Pittsburgh, and Villanova to Connecticut, both teams want to bounce back and win. Corey Stokes for the Wildcats is struggling and Corey Fisher is riding the high wave having a good game against the Huskies. Kory Joseph for the Orange is questionable, and the leading scorer at 14.2 PPG. Pick: It matters if Joseph plays, if he does, 'Cuse wins, if he doesn't play, Villanova will win.
Ohio State @ Illinois: With the Buckeyes going to one of the hardest places to play, Assembly Hall, the Buckeyes want to stay #1 and undefeated. The Illini will go in there pumped up with Demetri McCamey. Jared Sullinger is probably going to get player of the year, moreless, rookie of the year. Pick: Ohio State, but I think it will be a very close game.
Tennessee @ Connecticut: Tennessee has a streak going to beat top 10 Big East teams beating Pittsburgh and Villanova. Connecticut is at home which will be a big factor. Scotty Hopson and Tobias Harris will have to step it up and the Volunteers will have to play great defense. The X-factor in this game is for the Huskies is Alex Oriakhi. Pick: Game-winning shot by Kemba Walker as time expires.
St. Mary's @ Vanderbilt: This is a key non-conference game for both teams. St. Mary's has been a team nobody has looked at and is quietly going up the rankings. Jeffrey Taylor will have to have a good game for the Commodores to win this game. Pick: St. Mary's by 3
Texas @ Kansas: This will probably be the game of the day. If the Longhorns want to win Tristan Thompson will have to play good and Jordan Hamilton will have to knock down some threes. Josh Selby will have to have a great game. I think Texas will be pumped up after crushing the Aggies. Pick: This will be a close one, but Texas I think will win barely. This game is also my upset of the day.
Marquette @ Notre Dame: The Golden Eagles will have a quality win if they win this game. Notre Dame is slumping after getting crushed by St. Johns. Tim Abromatis has to have a good game for the Irish and Darius Johnson-Odom will have to have a good game too for the Golden Eagles. Pick: Marquette
Michigan State @ Purdue: Jajuan Johnson is riding high tide after hitting the game-winner against Penn State. Draymond Green looks to keep his good streak going as the Spartans go to Purdue. Pick: Purdue
