Tuesday’s slate and what to watch

Mike Miller

Most college hoops fans will be watching one, if not all the ACC/Big Ten Challenge games Tuesday night. Smart readers already know what to expect from those games – because they’ve read this and this – so let’s overlook those here, shall we?

How about the rest of Tuesday?

(All times ET; TV info courtesy of HDSportsGuide.com)

Eastern Michigan at Syracuse, 7 p.m. (Big East Network, SNY, MASN)
OK, so this isn’t really a note about the game. It’s about everything else at Syracuse. Jim Boeheim will speak afterward about the Bernie Fine mess, though it’s unclear what he’ll be asked, what he’ll say and how long it’ll go on. His boss’ll probably be there, though she’s given him a vote of confidence.

Arizona at New Mexico State, 9 p.m. (Aggie Vision; FSArizona)
It’s too early to call this a make-or-break game for the Wildcats, so let’s call it a crucial point for the rest of the season. Arizona (4-2) has lost two straight and also plays Florida and Gonzga in the next few weeks. Sean Miller’s team is young and capable of big things in a few months. But right now? Marvin Menzies’ squad will give Arizona all it can handle, and more.
