Sort of, but they only have certain games a night. Depending on your service provider, its free and you don't have to download anything. I have Verizon and it already set up with them.

Wisconsin won pretty handily last night as did #15 Indiana (even without Eric Gordon.)

#1 UNC and #10 Tennessee are both on the road tonight against teams they should easily beat.

#9 Michigan State will be travelling to Peoria, IL to face unranked Bradley. Now Bradley plays in the Missour Valley conference which has made a lot of noise over the past few years. Factor in the fact that MSU had a lot of troube on the road last year AND that Bradley has not lost a non-conference game at home in almost 5 years and I smell upset!

Still, the marquee game for tonight will be #24 USC visiting #2 Memphis. I guess we'll see if either one of these teams is for real. It's on ESPN tonight.

Vols only up by one at the half. Mocs have a fast team.

Good game between USC and Memphis. Too bad for USC that Mayo will most likely be in the NBA after this year. They look like they are a year or two away from being a real contender.

AndyC0803 · December 5th, 2007, 07:47 AM

As expected, #1 UNC won and #10 Tennessee won but Tennessee had more trouble then they probably expected. I bet Bruce Pearl went through TWO orange sportcoats!

#9 Michigan State won but Bradley made it very tough! You gotta watch out for those MVC teams! Bradley was even leading at half but they were undone by a 70 Spartan run in the last few minutes.

Finally, #24 USC took #2 Memphis to OT but could not pull off the upset. It was a pretty good game though. Memphis has some really good players put they didn't play particularly well last night and they turned the ball over a lot. I will be very surprised if Memphis is ranked in the Top 10 by the end of the year.

Three top 5 teams are in action tonight with #3 KU, #4 Texas, and #5 G-Town all playing. The G-Town game is on ESPN.

The only game tonight between two top 25 teams sees #8 Washington State at #17 Gonzaga. Too bad this one isn't on TV.

Just an FYI... you can watch the Texas and Kansas games on ESPN360 tonight as well. Lots of college ball on tonight.

(I can't copy and paste the schedule, but here's the link)

Got tickets to the Lady Vols game tonight. Right behind the bench about 10 rows

Make sure you tell ms. Parker that if she was a half a foot shorter, i'd leave my wife for her. Thanks.

Sort of off the rankings topic...

I had no idea Stephen Curry from Davidson was Del Curry's son. No wonder the kid has an amazing shot.

#3 KU and #4 Texas both rolled last night but #5 G-Town had some trouble with Alabama and had to really turn it on in the second half to pull out the win.

In the nightcap, Washington State was able to get by Gonzaga for only thier eighth win in 112 road games against ranked teams.

I don't know if anyone else saw the game bust West Va looked great in their pummeling of Auburn. West Va has got some really good outside shooters.

Only two Top 25 games on tonight. The first game is #13 Butler at Detroit and the secong game is LSU at #25 Villanova. It's too bad that the Butler game isn't on TV, I'd really like to see those guys play. They are undefeated and they start 5 seniors so you know they are a pretty savvy squad. AJ Graves is supposed to be an especially good player for them.

I shouted out to her "Pimp J loves you" but she just gave me a strange look.

lol. thanks.

Did anyone watch the LSU vs. #25 Villanova game last night? LSU was up by 21 with 8 minutes left to go and LOST. IN REGULATION! Crazy stuff man.

In other news, #13 Buter won without much trouble.

No top 25 games tonight.

AndyC0803 · December 10th, 2007, 08:50 AM

Some fun games over the weekend, among them on Saturday were #22 Arizona beating Illinois, unranked Dayton beating #14 Louisville, #9 Michigan State over #20 BYU, #11 Marquette over Wisconsin
