Seton Hall @ Syracuse-  Carrier Dome hosts big test
Georgetown @ Louisville-  Big East Basketball classic
Indiana @ Michigan St-  Maybe the game of the month
Miss St @ Baylor-  So much for Baylor not playing anybody
Vandy @ Marquette-  Good matchup

Not picking the IU MSU game... hate picking games for my own team... I jinx them :P

Yeah hoosierguy...  I'll go with Indiana for you.  So glad the Hoosiers are having this kind of season.  Green didn't produce in his two big games- let's hope the luck continues- he's truly a great player when he calms down and doesn't try to do too much.  So good to see the lot who have picked so far.  The smart people would check out our picks and I'll bet it beats Vegas.  Know that SportsJunkie's game last year consistently beat all the talking heads.  

Hope everyone had a good Christmas.

hoosier,

How about BYU @ St. Mary's? 

Ladies and Gentlemen,

Deadline for Holiday picks is tomorrow (Monday at Midnight).  Thanks.  (From now on I'll post on Wednesdays for Saturday and the following week's games- deadline will be midnight Friday nights)  I will attempt to pick the most important games, but will also pick those with potential NCAA tourney implications, a notable rivalry, or just something that looks interesting or news worthy.  Certainly open to your input- as I know most of you- and you all know tons about college hoops.   


Here's looking towards a great New Year of Two Thousand Twelve. 

Wisconsin @ Nebraska-    Wisconsin Pitt @ Notre Dame-   Pitt Minnesota @ Illinois-   Illinois Charlotte @ Arkansas-  Charlotte - I hate picking against a great guy like Mike Anderson though. New Mexico @ New Mexico State-   New Mexico State Northwestern @ Ohio State-   Ohio State Seton Hall @ Syracuse-   Syracuse - restore 44 Georgetown @ Louisville-   Louisville Indiana @ Michigan St-   Michigan State Miss St @ Baylor-   Baylor Vandy @ Marquette-   Vanderbilt Oklahoma @ Cincy-   Oklahoma BYU @ St. Mary's-  BYU - just hope none of the starters have had pre-material sex that would be awful. Missouri @ ODU-   Mizzou WVA @ Seton Hall-  Seton Hall Uno thanks for the invite.

Sorry for the way they posted stupid iPad has a few kinks. Will fix on Tuesday when in front of the PC (no worries will keep the picks the same).

Wisconsin @ Nebraska  Tuff start ot the pck em.

Pitt @ Notre Dame  I know Pitt is down, but Notre Dame is as bad as I can remember.

Minnesota @ Illinois Not real enough to win in Ill.

Charlotte @ Arkansas- Between the travel for Char and the home cooking for AR. 

New Mexico @ New Mexico State  The aggies do not seem to be toying around.

Northwestern @ Ohio State  I think even a half a Sully is more than enough.

Seton Hall @ Syracuse  SH’s starting 5 must play 40 minutes to have a chance.

Georgetown @ Louisville  UofL must win this one.  No excuses.

Indiana @ Michigan St   I will learn much about these two teams. 

Miss St @ Baylor  I’m taking the upset in this one.

Vandy @ Marquette I am a big fan of Marquette.

Oklahoma @ Cincy  I’m not sold on the bearcats.

BYU @ St. Mary's  Another one I am feeling is ripe to lose at home.

Missouri @ ODU I am not impressed with ODU.  Meating Mizz would change that.

WVA @ Seton Hall- I would like to hold. off  They both have a wicked game prior to this one.

Thanks for running this lobo.  This is a great slate of of basketball this week.  Enjoy men. 

Sorry uno -

I'll take BYU there.

Some real good games here...Now is when the season really starts!

Wisconsin @ Nebraska
Pitt @ Notre Dame
Minnesota @ Illinois
Charlotte @ Arkansas
New Mexico @ New Mexico State
Northwestern @ Ohio State
Seton Hall @ Syracuse
Georgetown @ Louisville
Indiana @ Michigan St
Miss St @ Baylor
Vandy @ Marquette
Oklahoma @ Cincy
BYU @ St. Mary's
Missouri @ ODU
WVA @ Seton Hall

Wisconsin @ Nebraska - You mean the same Bo Spencer who was a turnover machine and chemistry killer at LSU? He's playing fairly well for Nebraska, but he's no Jordan Taylor.

Pitt @ Notre Dame - Pitt isn't playing very well, but I just can't imagine them losing to an abysmal Notre Dame.

Minnesota @ Illinois - Both are solid teams, but I like the home Illini in this one.

Charlotte @ Arkansas - Charlotte is too inconsistent, and I think they'll struggle in a hostile environment.
 
New Mexico @ New Mexico State - Both are mediocre teams, so I'll go with the home team here.

Northwestern @ Ohio State - Northwestern is solid, but they won't be able to win on the road against an elite team.

Seton Hall @ Syracuse - If this wasn't in the Carrier Dome, maybe I'd think differently.

Georgetown @ Louisville - Georgetown's legnth will be too much for an overrated Louisville.

Indiana @ Michigan State - Indiana won't hit eight threes in this game; Michigan State wins.

Mississippi State vs. Baylor - Mississippi State's balance inside and out will be too much for Baylor.

Vandy @ Marquette - Vandy needs this game. Marquette struggles against bigger teams. If Ezeli plays, then Vandy gets this game.

Oklahoma @ Cincinnati - The Bears have looked like a new team since that fight.

BYU @ St. Mary's - BYU won't be able to win in one of the toughest environments in the country.

Missouri @ ODU - I don't care if this is on the road; Missouri is just a better team than Old Dominion.

West Virginia @ Seton Hall - Herb Pope will dominate.

Wisconsin @ Nebraska
Pitt @ Notre Dame
Minnesota @ Illinois
Charlotte @ Arkansas
New Mexico @ New Mexico State
Northwestern @ Ohio State

Indiana @ Michigan St
Miss St @ Baylor
