Top Games of the Weekend

Get out to an arena this weekend! There are tons of great games as the college basketball season completes one of the last weekends of action before the major preseason tournaments begin.  We’re going to give you some of our picks for the best games to watch.
Friday Games – Tonight there aren’t as many games to choose from- unless you’re a fan of the Ivy League. The smart kids always seem to play their games on Friday night. Why is that. Perhaps they know something we don’t. Actually they probably know a lot of things we don’t.

  • Virginia Commonwealth – Nevada
  • Cornell – Yale
  • Illinois State – Niagara
  • Bakersfield – Utah Valley

Saturday Games – Tomorrow is chock full of key matchups. Here’s our top seven, although there are plenty more. No offense if you’re matchup wasn’t selected at the Final Four Blog.

  • Butler – Davidson
  • Louisville – Cincinnati
  • Utah State – St. Mary’s
  • Texas Tech – Texas A&M
  • Florida State – Virginia Tech
  • Oklahoma – Texas
  • Brigham Young – UNLV

Sunday Games – Fewer games, but there are a few regional rivalries out there.  Unless you have tickets (which is preferable), this is a great day for watching some hoops on TV.

  • Duke – Wake Forest
  • Arizona – Arizona State
  • New Orleans – Louisiana Lafayette
  • Wisconsin – Michigan State
  • Illinois – Ohio State
  • Villanova – Syracuse
