Games To Watch Today

[Just Sayin]

The only game tonight worth watching:

Arizona vs UCLA 10pm CST ESPN

Arizona is damn good. A beast. But UCLA has the same team they had last year and we all know what happened at the dance.

UCLA shot the lights out and looked pretty darn good.

Completely took Arizona out of their game with their defense and AZ looked pretty darn bad.

UCLA likely to make noise at the dance if they play like they did last night. Might even win it all. I was impressed.

There are some really good teams across the board this year unlike what I've seen in years past. It's anyone's ball game.

If you missed the Texas Tech vs Kansas game yesterday, it's being re-run on ESPNU 4pm CST.

What an exciting game! 2OT as I recall.

Indeed!  Agbaji's shot to put it into the second OT is as pure of a shot as you will ever see. And there is no better atmosphere in college sports than Allen Fieldhouse for a big game. Best student section in the country.

Based on PomPom rankings, 21 USC gets an opportunity to seek revenge against 91 Stanford tonight.

The big game against Zona on Feb 5. is coming up...

[usc4valpo]

USC gets sweated by the Trees, who are looking really good as a possible NCAA dark horse. Stanford is well coached.

If USC wants national recognition, they need to defeated the Stanfords before they are at the same level as Arizona and UCLA.

The Pac12 is pretty damn tough this year...
