Thursday morning, everybody’ll be talking about one game – Georgetown-St. John’s. If it was 1985.
No, I’m talking about No. 4 San Diego State’s trip to No. 9 BYU, where the unbeaten Aztecs (20-0) haven’t won since 2005. But I’ve already talked up this game plenty this week here, here, here and here. So I’ll just tell you to find CBS College Sports on the TV (it’s channel 613 on DirecTV and 152 on Dish Network) around 10 p.m. ET.
And enjoy.
(All times ET)
West Virginia at Louisville, 7 p.m. (ESPNU): What in Jerry West’s name is going on in Morgantown? Noah Cottrill quit the team, Casey Mitchell was suspended indefinitely and Dan Jennings decided to walk out during the middle of a game. With all that, shouldn’t this line be higher?
Texas at Oklahoma State, 7:30 p.m. (ESPN): The Longhorns (16-3) are suddenly the team to beat in the Big 12 (dig that efficiency margin!). But going into Gallagher-Iba with Missouri on Saturday screams trap game. The good news for UT? Even if Texas’ offense struggles, the defense won’t.
Miami (Fla.) at North Carolina, 7:30 p.m. (ESPN2): UNC (13-5) is sticking with freshman guard Kendall Marshall in the starting lineup, which is music to the ears of every Tar Heel fan. He played well, and Larry Drew II could finally relax during a win against Clemson.
Northwestern at Minnesota, 8:30 p.m. (BTN): It’s the Gophers’ first game without point guard Al Nolen, which doesn’t leave Tubby Smith with many options. Northwestern is coming off a throttling by Wisconsin (not an understatement). If there was ever a time when the Wildcats could use a break, it’s now.
St. John’s at Georgetown, 7 p.m. (ESPN3): Yeah, it’s not 1985. Still should be an entertaining game if the Johnnie’s can slow down the pace and frustrate the Hoyas’ shooter.
