Big Saturday!

This Saturday pits some very important games that will have very important Conference title implications and NCAA Tournament seedings. 

Arizona @ Washington- This has become the marquee rivalry in the Pac 12 and in their first matchup earlier this season, didn't prove otherwise.  Tomorrows game will be another thriller and with Washington tied for the conference lead and Arizona breathing down their necks in second, expect a great game.  Washington has hit a funky path, where we have seen them play inconsistent and then play like a team destined to wint the conference.  Arizona has gotten hot since they lost to the Huskies at home and have rattled off five straight wins.  Look for another close game and for Arizona to avenge their lost and take down the Huskies on their home court.

#6 Ohio St. @ #19 Michigan- In their first game the Buckeyes blew the Wolverines out, but a lot has changed for both teams since then.  If Michigan is able to attack Jared Sullinger in the paint and fluster him, they will have a great shot at beating them.  The Buckeyes are still fighting to get a #1 seed but after a tough loss to Michigan St. last week the task seems a bit daunting.  The Wolverines are playing to get a higher seed in the Tourney and a win tomorrow will really help the cause.  We are going with the Wolverines in this one and expect it to come down to the wire.

#13 Marquette @ UCONN- The defending National Champs are in need of some quality wins and a win in this game will help their resume a lot.  This is a bit of trap game for Marquette and could be one that will bite them if they don't come out ready.  UCONN needs to play good and not like the "UCAN't" we have seen them play like this year.  Look for the Huskies to defend their home court well and get this quality win.

#16 Saint Mary's @ #14 Murray St.- These are two of the more surprising teams of the season and a win for either squad will prove to the Tournament Committee.  Murray St really hasn't a quality win this year and this will really help them out.  Saint Mary's will continue to try to knock off Gonzaga in their conference and a win here will really help their cause.  Look for Saint Mary's to knock off Murray St back down to Earth in this one.
