Helping you get your weekend viewing priorities straight since 2007

Thursday

7:00 (ESPN) WVU @ Pitt. Pitt has had a crazy season thus far, beating teams they shouldn’t losing to teams they should handle easy, losing two starters and then beating teams that have them out manned. Hopefully Bob Huggins will continue to dress like a pimp.

9:00 (ESPN2) Xavier @ St. Louis. Xavier has been complaining this year about not being a “mid-major” but they better make sure they put away a team that only scored 20 points once this year. Key Fact: Rumor has it that Rick Majerus accepted the St. Louis job because pictures of the Billiken reminded him of his childhood self.

Saturday

10:00 AM (FSC) Reading @ Everton. Everton is currently sitting in a Champions League spot and needs to continue to beat teams that are below them to ensure that losing to the Big 4 will not kick them out of that spot. A lose could put Reading back into the relegation zone.

12:00 (ESPN) Marquette @ Notre Dame. Two Big East teams that I know nothing about and if I am not working on Saturday (boo!) I will check this game out and be able to comment on the teams abilities after the fact.

1:00 (CBS) Boston College @ Duke. I did not get a chance to watch Duke knock off UNC (I was too busy at a free Will Ferrell show), but I think that they may have surprised more than a few people by winning in the Dean Dome.

2:00 (ESPN) Iowa @ Minnesota. How good is Tubby Smith at coaching other coach’s recruites?

9:00 (ESPN) Georgetown @ Louisville. Rick Petino, John Thompson (not that one, his son) Big East Hoops, ESPN, what else can you ask for, besides free beer?

Sunday

11:00 AM (FSC) Liverpool @ Chelsea. A battle of the aforementioned Big 4. Right now Liverpool is sitting on the outside looking in at a Champions League spot and Chelsea is holding to Premier League title hopes, a lose for either will considerably hurt their table aspirations.

1:00 (CBS) Indiana @ Ohio State. The best team in the Big Ten (sometimes) Indiana travels to OSU to try and knock off the defending Big Ten champs. A win for OSU helps their tournament position, but a loss is going to make it a little harder to get in especially playing in a weaker than normal Big Ten.
