Card Chronicle On The Radio And Your Tuesday Night Hoops Schedule
Just a quick reminder that I'll be back on the ones and the twos along with Mark Ennis this evening for "The Two Man Game" show from 7-9 on ESPN Radio 680. If you're fancy enough to be familiar with the Interwebz, the show will be streaming live on ESPNLouisville.com.
We'll be talking about the Pitt and Villanova games, expectations for the season going forward, and CBS' Brett McMurphy will be on at 7:45 to discuss the Big East's addition of Navy and other league happenings.
Feel free to call in at (502) 267-9680 and speak your mind. Just don't say "boner." It's not a deal-breaker, but it's definitely frowned upon.
Here's your hoops schedule for the evening:
Michigan at Purdue (7:00/ESPN)
The Wolverines have taken four of their five losses (Arkansas, Virginia, Indiana and Iowa) in true road games, but will be facing a Purdue team that was absolutely shellacked by Michigan State over the weekend. Michigan has been outscored by an average of 15.4 points during their current six-game losing streak at Purdue's Mackey Arena. They haven't tasted victory at Mackey since a 78-67 win on Feb. 19, 2003.
Tennessee at Vanderbilt (7:00/ESPNU)
A big game for both a Vanderbilt team coming off an emotional loss to Mississippi State and a Tennessee team coming off an emotional win over Connecticut. I'm not sure who the announcing andem is, but I guarantee they'll spend an inordinate amount of time talking about Jarnell Stokes.
Baylor at Oklahoma (8:00/Altitude/YES/ESPN FullCourt)
This will be a good test for a young Baylor team disappointed by the fact that it couldn't escape with a victory in either of its showdown games last week. The Bears have an extreme advantage over Oklahoma in terms of talent, but tonight will be all about their maturity. If these guys have what it takes to make a deep run in March, then they'll take care of business in Norman.
South Florida at Marquette (8:00/SNY/MASN/CSS)
Marquette has responded well to the little bit of advers---SWEET JESUS SOUTH FLORIDA IS 5-2 IN THE BIG EAST!? These two have actually had a fairly interesting series, as Marquette has taken nine of the last ten, but six of those games have been decided by four points or less. South Florida's lone victory in the series came in 2009 over an MU squad that had been the last remaining unbeaten in the league at 9-0. This should actually be quite watchable.
San Diego State at Wyoming (8:30/The Mountain)
Wyoming is off to one of the best starts in school history at 16-3, but the Cowboys desperately need a quality win to bolster their computer rankings. Beating the 17-2 Aztecs - whose trip to Laramie was halted by snow earlier this week - would certainly do the trick.
Kentucky at Georgia (9:00/ESPN)
I will not be cheering for the visitors.
Miami at Georgia Tech (9:00/ESPNU)
Georgia Tech has scored less than 20 points in the first half of each of its last three games. Ideally, you'd like to score more than that. Talk to me in the offseason about that top assistant position, Brian Gregory.

Anyone else having issue with the stream?
It seems to have a severe echo.
I'm getting it too.
Making it impossible to listen.
Happening to me too ...
it sounds like it’s fast forwarding but with an occasional salvageable word or two
Happening here as well.
Very frustrating.

Just started tuning in.
Apparently the “submarine-esque” effect is fixed now.

Tonight's schedule
My computer says:
Purdue by 1
Vandy by 6
Baylor by 9
Marquette by 10
San Diego St by 2
Kentucky by 19
Miami by 5
I spot-checked a few of last night’s results and the predictions were fairly close. 4 out of 4 winners, most of them within a few points of the right spread. We’ll see what happens tonight.

For comparison, Vegas’ spreads as of 5:06 pm Pacific time:
Purdue -5
Vandy -9
Baylor -6
Marquette -9.5
San Diego St +2
Kentucky -12
Miami by -2

so if I believed my ratings, I would bet
against Purdue
against Vandy
for Baylor
leave Marquette alone
for San Diego St
for Miami
and my stone cold lead pipe lock would be… ugh, Kentucky. I just threw up in my mouth a little.

I don't think UK has covered all year
by Ellis from Compton on Jan 24, 2012 8:22 PM EST up reply actions
UK's on a 1-14-1 streak vs. spread
Covered the 16.5 spread vs Arkansas last week

Wow.
That is atrocious. Although I guess that just means Vegas sucks at gauging how good UK actually is.

I would have won every bat
The spread was closer in some cases than I was, but I was wrong on the right side.
Purdue lost.
Vandy failed to cover.
Baylor covered easily.
Marquette covered.
San Diego covered.
Miami covered.
Kentucky covered (barely).

Jimmy Dykes is such a douche
He sounds more dissapointed at Louisville being ranked 25th than me, when rankings mean nothing at all really. Big East rankings matter. I was just thinking how much I hated it when he did our games and he says that. Vitale is nothing but love and its sad that now ESPN supplys us bobby knights and jimmy dykes,,wheres Gus Johnson and guys like that? Oh yea CBS I geuss. ESPN is getting like the tmz of broadcasting sports..that’s a long way of sayin JIMMY DYKES IS DOUCHE

Tenn at Vandy
FWIW — I am a Tennessee fan, in addition to being a Card fan, and I have to say these are two of the worst nights for Vol basketball I have ever seen. The Lady Vols loss last night to ND, in particular, has the fan base just up in arms. You think the comments here have been tough the past few weeks — go read the comments at Rocky Top Talk (also part of SB Nation) during and after the ND loss.
So — glad the Cards and Lady Cards got it done this weekend. Otherwise, I might be asking my wife to hide all the sharp objects.

Are they saying Summit has lost it?
It’s just a matter of time until she does.

I'm pretty positive that you didn't mean this as a dementia joke,
but it made me think of one. I refuse to type it… It would hurt my heart to say.
I hope she’s able to end her coaching career on a high note.
ALL HAIL

I was referring to her dementia but I was not joking.
I was asking if the irate Tennessee fans were saying her Alzheimer’s is interfering with her coaching.
