Weekend Preview

This is the sort of weekend college basketball fans live for. Although we still haven’t learned much after two weeks or so of conference play, the uncertainity about most teams just adds to the excitement and intensity of this weekend. There are dozens of big games throughout the two days, including every type of game you could ask for. Marquee match-ups? Key non-conference contests? Important conference games in the smaller conferences? Two NCAA Tournament contenders matching up? A sleeper looking to make a statement? Yes, they are all here – and more. So just kick back and take it all in – and only check the NFL games if you have to.

Complete game previews coming shortly...
