This weekend’s games (1/27-28)

Cincinnati @ Georgetown
Providence @ Connecticut
Seton Hall @ Rutgers
St. John’s @ Pittsburgh
Villanova @ Notre Dame
Syracuse @ Louisville
Sunday
DePaul @ West Virginia
Marquette @ USF
The most interesting games to me this weekend are Syracuse @ Louisville, Villanova @ Notre Dame and DePaul @ West Virginia.
Marquette and Pitt should both win again this weekend, and move further away from the field. And of course, expect Cincinnati, Rutgers and USF all to lose once again. PC @ UConn may be a good game, but with both teams struggling right now, chances are it’ll be ugly to watch. The first team to score 40 in that game may win it.
As for the key matchups, Syracuse and Louisville are a toss up so far, as noted by Mister D earlier, and with both teams competing for one of the final byes in the BE Tournament, this game could turn out to be highly important come March.
The last time Villanova and ND played a few weeks ago, they combined for 189 points. If this game is anything like the first, it’ll be a great contest.
And finally, with all this talk of West Virginia this week, I’m excited to watch the play again, and they should be tested by a streaky DePaul team who has a good perimeter.
Below is the updated bracket for MSG in March.

With Sumpter hurting and not in the starting lineup ND has a chance to pull this one off. UConn is at a crucial point in their season. Herbert Hill has been a force for Providence and someone has to step up in the middle for UConn or else it will be another loss for the Huskies. If Hamilton plays against Pitt like he did in the 1st half against ND, St. John’s will give Pitt a run for their money.
Should be interesting this weekend.
Well…. I got 2 out of 3……. St. John’s didn’t give Pitt a game but ND did win and Hill was too much for UConn……
Marquette got the scare of their lives at USF but pulled it out on a steal by McNeal and a layup at the buzzer……
Watch out for Louisville….. Down in 2 games in a row at the half but came through for wins in both. I like the Cards right now for #4 seed at MSG behind Pitt, Marquette and G’town
