Tuesday Lay-up Lines

Pretty quiet night as no top 25 teams take the floor. The best game of the night is taking place in Knoxville as Kentucky (12-4, 1-0) takes on Tennessee (10-4, 1-0). Kentucky lost their first two games of the year, but has been playing much better of late, winning 12 of 14 and almost knocking off Louisville in Louisville. This is going to be a extremely tough match-up for the Wildcats, however. The Vols have had their own struggles this season, but one thing that they do well is press and force turnovers. Kentucky's biggest problem this season has been turnovers, which is caused by the fact that they have sub-par point guard play. My money is on Tennessee getting it done at home.

The rest of tonight's action:

• 7:00 PM: Florida State (13-3, 0-1) @ North Carolina State (9-4, 0-1): NC State's strength is their interior play, but FSU might actually be the biggest team in the ACC. I think the Seminoles defensive pressure will be too much for the Wolfpack guards, and I see Ben McCauley and Brandon Costner having all sorts of issues with FSU's bigs.
• 7:00 PM: Indiana (5-10, 0-3) @ Ohio State (11-3, 1-2): Ohio State has been struggling in Big Ten play barely beating Iowa before losing back-to-back games to Minnesota and Michigan State. They have not looked good offensively, so hopefully they can work out some of those kinks against Indiana.
• 7:30 PM: Memphis (12-3, 2-0) @ Tulane (11-5, 1-0)
• 8:00 PM: Kansas State (11-4, 0-1) @ Kansas (11-4, 0-0): Kansas is inexperienced this year, but so is K-State. Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich should be enough to handle the Wildcats at home. If not, the Baby Jayhawks could be in for a long Big XII season.
• 8:00 PM: Central Florida (10-5, 0-1) @ UAB (9-6, 0-1)
• 8:05 PM: Northern Iowa (10-6, 4-1) @ Evansville (11-4, 3-2)
• 10:00 PM: TCU (11-5, 2-0) @ BYU (13-2, 1-0)
