Iowa at Michigan State (6:30 p.m./Big Ten Network)
Watching Sparty pound Iowa (again) for half an hour is the perfect dinner accent.
Wake Forest at North Carolina (7 p.m./ESPN)
ANNOUNCER SWAP!!! Sure, I couldn't even tell you who the NBA guys calling the game are, but.....ANNOUNCER SWAP!!!
South Florida at Cincinnati (7 p.m./ESPN2)
UC is a loss tonight away from having their 2010 January become their 2009 February.
Georgetown at Pittsburgh (7 p.m./ESPNU)
The best game of the night is being kept off the two main networks by the No. 7 and No. 10 teams in the ACC and South Florida. Totally.
St. John's at Connecticut (7 p.m./MASN/Big East Network)
ANNOUNCER SWAP!!! That was a lie. It's just fun.
Xavier at Temple (7 p.m./FS Ohio)
The only two unbeatens remaining in the A-10. Watch this game if you have the means and Georgetown/Pitt is on break.
UTEP at Memphis (8 p.m./CBS College Sports)
Didn't Derrick Caracter used to play at Western?
Wyoming at BYU (8 p.m./The Mountain)
Anyone who watches this game is solely doing so to flaunt the fact that they have "The Mountain."
Villanova at Rutgers (8 p.m./MASN/MSG/ Big East Network)
Fred Hill and Jay Wright: it's like watching a Shakira/Moby duet.
Michigan at Wisconsin (8:30 p.m./Big Ten Network)
The Wolverines haven't won in Madison in a decade. Make it two decades tonight. Check my math.
Baylor at Kansas (9 p.m./ESPN)
Your 2010 Baylor Bears collapse begins...right now.
Colorado at Oklahoma State (9 p.m./ESPNU)
Don't watch this game.
Marquette at Depaul (9 p.m./SNY/Big East Network)
I miss Jerry "The Real Life Cartoon Character" Wainwright more than I miss Boy Meets World.
Duke at NC State (9 p.m./Raycom/Fox Sports)
Bring shades.
UNLV at Colorado State (10 p.m./The Mountain)
All right, The Mountain. That's enough. That's f---ing enough.

Let's not go overboard here
We all miss Jerry Wainwright, but Boy Meets World is maybe the greatest show ever. I scheduled college classes around the 3-4 Boy Meets World power hour they used to have on ABCFamily.
Additionally, go Xavier. Send in the goons (even though I totally think Chaney did the right thing there).

Did a speech on BMW in college
Was voted the class’ best speaker at semester’s end. There are no coincidences.

Dais
Anytime you want to fight these Corey and Topanga-lovin’ douchebags, just let me know…

Emotionally-unstable Topanga gets fat in her late 20s = Predictable
Winnie is too smart, self aware to let that happen.

Olivia D'Abo > Topanga...but the Wonder Years still sucks
For real, that show took itself way too seriously.

I cry for today's youth.
And by “cry,” I mean I grab a 2″ × 4″ and prepare to bash some skulls.
Does that make Mike Corey or Shawn?
I feel like Jay Wright fits more into the cool kid stereotype, therefore he equals Shawn.

Shawn became a douche after high school

It's not his fault that Angela tried to change him
The real problem was that he cut his hair. It made him seem douchey, like it did to Metallica.
I really should have gone for the Eric/Mr Feeny since Jay Wright is older. Sidebar: If Mr Feeny was my teacher for life and lived next door to me, I would kill myself.
I'm kinda glad Pitt is losing this one to the Hoyas.
That Saturday loss hurt so much that I think they should suffer a little.

announcer swap/swop
Is what Swop will be in 25 years, when there are 700 teams in the tournament and the game is played on levitating courts. Right now, he is player Swop.

I just can't see Kansas winning it all
They don’t look as good struggling as UNC did last year.
by Mike Rutherford on Jan 20, 2010 11:02 PM EST reply actions
They are so talented though
They beat Baylor that possession where they got like 10 offensive rebounds to go up 4. I think they are going deep. The only way I see them losing before the Final Four is if they get matched up with someone like Wisconsin who can guard them and are efficient on offense. Or maybe an underachiever like UNC or GA Tech that ends up at 8/9 and plays up to their talent.
agree with cardscott
i think the jayhawks have the best combo of talent and experience this year. they’re in a mid-january lull, something many recent champions have experienced, and i think they turn into a machine around a month. i think they’re comparable to last year’s UNC team in that it’s their title to lose. if they come to play in march/april, nobody beats them.

just please
somebody dont let “that other team” win it all…Im getting sooooooo sick of hearing all about this “40 win” undefeated season from the king douche of all fans@ work…

we're all thinking it
but maybe if nobody says it it won’t happen

regarding announcer swap
My guess is the college announcers won’t even recognize the NBA game as basketball (which it isn’t) and the pro announcers will be very confused by college ball which actually encourages several teammates to touch the ball on the same possession instead of standing to the side to watch a two man game.
North Carolina
continues to lose, but continues to stay in top 25??. They have more losses than UL now. Their losses may be against slightly better competition, but when do the voters say OK they shouldn’t be there>?
