Weekend College Basketball Preview

Well there are some games on ESPN this weekend and they arent awful, just sort of typical non-conference games so I will give you my thoughts on each that are important and one Eric Devendorf.

Syracuse plays Long Beach State this weekend but that really doesnt matter, what does is how much of an idiot Eric Devendorf is. If you didnt hear, he hit a female student and now the Judaical board wants him suspended from the basketball team. I dont know all the facts but if he did do that, then the suspension is justified, this would be a huge lost for the Orange is it were to occur.

4. Gonzaga-at Arizona- The Zags love taking their show on the road, I felt they would have trouble with the Cougars which they prove me wrong. This is the "Owen Miller Bowl" and they have two defeats by one point. The Zags pull away at the very end. ZAGS 82-77

5. Oklahoma plays Utah who they should destroy, the only real reason to watch this is to see Blake Griffin just throw down a sick amount dunks.

8. Tennessee-at Temple- This game will probably be a blowout but the only reason I am writing something about this is because the Owls best player is named Dante Christmas, just awesome. Before you know it they will make him change his name to Holidays. TENN 81-63

9. Xavier-at Cincinnati- This game I think has the best chance to be an uspet. A great rivalry game where the Bearcats are slowly becoming a good basketball team, this would be a huge win for their program but I think they fall short to the X. XAV 71-65

15. Memphis-at 19. Georgetown- The Tigers proved their worth last year when they destroyed the Hoyas but I dont think it will go that route this year. You have two very young teams so this will be a great barometer to see how good both of those teams are, I will take the home team. GT 65-60

21. Ohio State-vs. Butler- The Bulldogs are always a fiesty team and they did beat Northwestern earlier on this year so the Buckeyes should be on upset alert this weekend. I think the Buckeyes should win with B.J. Mullins and this inside game. OSU 68-59

Conference season is only three weeks away.
