Games to Watch
- 10-Iowa Hawkeyes vs. 7-Cincinnati Bearcats
According to KenPom’s Fan Match, this is the best game of the day. I suppose it could be a close and entertaining one. Let’s see how much Jarron Cumberland can get on Iowa and maybe we get to see Fran McCaffery lose his shit.
- 11-Arizona State Sun Devils vs. 6-Buffalo Bison
This is probably the game I’m most interested in watching. I really want to watch Buffalo.
Upset Alert
- 12-Oregon Ducks vs. 5-Wisconsin Badgers
I really do think this one is happening.
- 13-UC Irvine Anteaters vs. 4-Kansas State Wildcats
I will always cheer for the Anteaters and while this one may be a defensive struggle, it may also be a close one for Irvine to pull off.
