Getting a little bit of a late start on the week’s slate of games. Hopefully, everyone who had off today for the holiday enjoyed their time and reflected for at least a minute upon the work of Dr. Martin Luther King.

As far as the matchups this week go:

Most people had Marquette knocking off Louisville at home this afternoon. I did too. The Golden Eagles were impressive in their comeback today.

Take Syracuse tonight against Pitt. Pitt is not a good team at all right now, and Syracuse is #1 in the nation. That makes this pick elementary.

To close out the night, Rutgers hosts Notre Dame and I’ll take the Scarlet Knights at home. I love the RAC, and I think it’ll work in the Knight’s favor this evening.

TUESDAY

Only one game is on the slate on Tuesday, and it shouldn’t be much of a contest. Take the Hoyas on the road over the Blue Demons.

WEDNESDAY

In a rematch of an NCAA second round match from last year, UConn hosts Cincinnati. And although the Bearcats would like some revenge, I don’t think they get it as the Huskies should pull this one out.

I also have been waiting on Villanova to begin improving but I don’t think this is the night it happens. Seton Hall should be able to take this one on the road.

Finally, look for the USF Bulls to win another one at home over the Red Storm. That’s a long flight down to Tampa and I see the Johnnies being a little sluggish in this one.

Should be some great basketball this week as the season standing continue to shake out.
