Mike Rutherford — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 22:30:07 -0000

Liberty vs. VMI (Big South Semifinals) (6 p.m./ESPNU)

It's Steph Curry's high-scoring little brother facing off against the most offensively prolific team in the country. This one has the potential to be as entertaining as any mid-major game you'll see over the next 11 days.

Tennessee at South Carolina (7 p.m./ESPN)

I said it's Steph Curry's high-scoring little brother facing off against the most offensively prolific team in the country.

Providence at Villanova (7 p.m./ESPN2)

This one affects who we might see on Thursday. I'm not exactly sure how, but I have no doubt that Phauz does.

St. Joseph's at Temple (7 p.m./CBS College Sports)

I hope CBS is using this channel to work out some kinks because the pre-tourney coverage on the flagship station has been even more atrocious than usual.

Palashus.

Radford vs. UNC-Asheville (Big South Semifinals) (8 p.m./ESPNU)

If Kenny George were healthy then this might have been as watchable as the first semi.

Illinois at Penn State (9 p.m./ESPN)

Are these teams really better than we thought, or is the Big Ten just a lot worse than we thought? I don't care as long as one of them beats Michigan State in Indianapolis.

Dayton at Xavier (9 p.m./ESPN2)

The Flyers haven't swept Xavier since the discovery of fire, but an upset tonight would likely wrap up an at-large bid.

Lipscomb vs. Campbell (Atlantic Sun Quarterfinals) (9:30 p.m./CSS/ESPN FullCourt)

You're allowed to pass over this one.

Louisiana Tech at Idaho (10 p.m./MASN/ESPN FullCourt)

I'd rather not.

California at Arizona (10:30 p.m./FSN)

Is anyone keeping track of who the bubble teams are and aren't in the Pac-10? Are any of these teams good? Where the hell am I?

Mike Rutherford — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 23:50:38 -0000

Canisius at Syracuse (7 p.m./ESPNU)

The Orange look to take out some frustration on the Golden Griffings two days after Cleveland State beat them on a 60-footer at the buzzer. TNIAAM has already penned a letter of apology.

The Citadel at Michigan State (7 p.m./Big Ten Network)

I'd be exponentially more interested if Pat Conroy was still manning the point for the Bulldogs.

UNC-Asheville at Duke (7:30 p.m./ESPN2)

No Kenny George, no Mike Rutherford.

Tennessee State at Alabama (8 p.m./CSS/ESPN Full Court)

Yep.

Jacksonville at Ohio State (9 p.m./ESPNU)

Maybe they'll let Artis Gilmore suit up and check B.J. Mullens. If you don't tune in and it happens then you're going be feeling pretty foolish about this time tomorrow.

Siena at Pittsburgh (9:30 p.m./ESPN2)

The Saints have won three straight since their disappointing showing at the Old Spice Classic, and still likely represent the biggest challenge Pitt has faced to date. I love Alex Franklin.

Northern Arizona at Stanford (10:30 p.m./FCS Central)

Really smart kids vs. Lumberjacks.

Loyola Marymount at UCLA (11 p.m./FCS Pacific)

You're awake, Darren Collison is good, that's reason enough.

SB Nation - Kenny George
