What to watch: 3/5/09

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?
