There were games all day today. Right now BYU is playing Nevada, St. Mary's is playing Northeastern, and Georgia Tech, Memphis, and Richmond have already won big. Here is the college basketball schedule for tonight.
7:00 pm: Michigan State @ Texas: Big game tonight out in Texas. This matchup is going to answer a lot of questions about both team. Does Texas has yet to play a quality oponent with an elite back court, which Michigan State has. The Spartans, on the other hand, have struggled this season, especially against teams that have size inside as they are smaller this season than in years past. I don't think the Spartans are going to be able to handle the Horns inside, but I think we all have learned to never write off a Tom Izzo coached team.
7:00 pm: Oakland @ Syracuse: Syracuse is playing as well as anyone in the country this season, but the Grizzlies have a talented club. Keith Benson is one of the best big men at the mid-major level, and Johnathon Jones is a solid back court player. The Orange are going to need to be ready to play tonight.
7:30 pm: Western Carolina @ Clemson: Clemson better not sleep on the Catamounts. They are 10-1 on the season, and look to be the best team in the Southern Conference. Louisville, who plays a similar style to Clemson, slept on Western Carolina and came away with an L.
8:00 pm: Missouri State @ Arkansas: The Razorbacks are not all that good this season, but they have a great home court and a couple of talented players. The Bears and undefeated, but still a bit untested. Winning on the road against an SEC team would be a statement win.
8:00 pm: Stanford @ Texas Tech: Tech is coming off of a loss to a good Wichita State team, and while the Cardinal aren't the same Cardinal of a few years ago, this is still a team that boasts one of the best players out west in Landry Fields and took Kentucky to overtime.
8:00 pm: Butler @ UAB: Butler looks like they have started to figure things out as Gordon Hayward is beginning to play like the all-american everyone thought he would be, but Matt Howard is still struggling. UAB just beat Cincinnati at home, can they pick up another win?
9:00 pm: Cal @ Kansas: Cal is going to need a huge performance out of Jerome Randle, Patrick Christopher, and Theo Robertson if they hope to beat Kansas at home. The Jayhawks will have a huge advantage inside.
11:00 pm: Texas A&M @ Washington: Nice contrast of styles here. The Aggies are excellent defensively and like to slow the pace. Washington hasn't played much defense all season and loves to push the tempo and put up points.
