Can't wait for the Crosstown shootout. Love that the game is on Big Fox. Go Muskies!!!!

Huge Day!!

3 good games:

Marquette on the road at Wisconsin. Would really be a huge burst to Marquette's resume as our 6th potential team with a win. Would not be a bad loss by any means, but Marquette is in needs of some good wins. They have been playing well lately, and I'm saying there's a chance.

A Butler loss would be disappointed. Butler is the better team, game is in Indy. Get it done dogs!!!

The main event is obviously the crosstown shootout brought to us by our friends at FOX SPORTS. Joey "the Kid" Davis and Jimmy Jackson with the call. This is the game my Saturday is going to revolve around.

Providence, GTown, Creighton and DePaul with cupcake games.

Prediction:
6-1 (got Marquette losing)
7-0 is possible
5-2 would be disappointing as that would mean either Xavier or Butler lost a big one they should have one or we blew one of the cupcake games.
4-3 result and stever will be hitting the meth pipe and staying up all hours trying to convince us that the Big East is worse than the A10 and only on par with the Conference of Americans....

Our game is definitely key for our NCAA chances. If we don't finish out our OOC without another loss it is going to be an uphill battle. I think we can get this one. Good luck to everyone else!

#CrossTownShootout trending on twitter in Cincy and games doesn't start for another day.

That Marquette/Wisconsin game is definitely big. The Golden Eagles are 7.5 point underdogs. All our other teams are favored.

DePaul game will actually be interesting. UALR is one of the few undefeated teams left at 7-0, with wins over Tulsa and San Diego St. Could be a decent win going into a stretch of tough OOC games for DPU.

Would be a good RPI win. DePaul 4.5 point favorites. Wish it didn't start so late.

And Georgetown's opponent is 5-0 with an RPI of 17. Going to be lots of quality wins today hopefully.

Butler -13
Creighton -15
DePaul -4
Georgetown -11.5
Marquette +7.5
Providence -21
Xavier -5.5

I didn't realize UNC-Wilmington was so good. They're undefeated. That line really stuck out.

Still amazed at the Butler line. Butler never wins these kind of games convincingly. It'll be tight.
