Welcome to The Holy Land of Hoops

Last big day of non-conference action...

noon:
#12 Villanova at #8 Virginia, 12pm, ESPN2.
Auburn at #10 Xavier, 12pm.
Wichita State at Seton Hall, 12pm, Fox.
Unc Asheville at Georgetown, 12pm
early afternoon:
Northwestern at DePaul, 2pm.
Creighton at #3 Oklahoma, 2pm, ESPN-U.
late afternoon:
#17 Butler at #9 Purdue, 5pm, Crossroads Classic.
nightcap:
Rider at #14 Providence, 8pm.

- Four games at noon, two more at 2pm...
- There's no reason Villanova can't take Virginia... I'm thinking the OU game can serve as a wake up call.
- X should roll vs a weak rebuilding Auburn team.
- Georgetown is gonna be pissed.
- Seton Hall with a great opportunity to getvin the NCAA conversation.
- A win by the Blue Demons will go a long way. Northwestern looked terrible winning at Va Tech.
- Creighton playing with house money vs a team they beat last year.
- Two ranked teams in the Crossroads. Would be a great win.
- Looking for a healthy PC team to coast.

just a huge day.
Nova/Virginia- KP UVA 64-60- nova 30% chance winning
Auburn/Xavier- KP X 92-72 94%
Wichita/Seton Hall- KP SH 65-64 56%
UNC Asheville/Georgetown KP Geo 78-67 85%
Northwestern/DePaul- KP NW 70-67 Dep 37%
Creighton/Oklahoma- KP Okla 88-72 Cre 9%
Butler/Purdue- KP Pur 81-73 But 25%
Rider/Providence- KP PC 73-59 92%

so projected to go 4-4. earlier would have been 3-5 but Wichita struggles early make Seton Hall the favorite.

I'm Glad we are getting some games! Exam week this year was worst than when I was in School. I need my Musketeer Fix! Go Muskies!

I agree. This week sucked without any games to watch. Should say it sucked even worse than no games when the one game we did see was Georgetown losing.

I hear you. We still don't play until Monday! At least I've got the Johnnies to cheer for tonight and a solid slate of games tomorrow.

Incarnate Word/ St. John's- Brian Custer, Jim Spanarkel

Villanova/Virginia- Dave O'Brien, Jay Bilas

Wichita State/Seton Hall- Tim Brando, Jim Jackson

Auburn/Xavier- Joe Davis, Nick Bahe

UNC Asheville/Georgetown- Rick Ackerman, Ron Thompson

Northwestern/DePaul- Aaron Goldsmith, Stephen Bardo

Creighton @ 3 Oklahoma, ESPNU - Ted Emrich, Bryndon Manzer

Purdue-Butler - Cory Provus, Jon Crispin

4-4 would be a good result.

8-0
