There are tons of gut-check games tomorrow, and we could see quite a few upsets. If you’re as big an NCAA Men’s Basketball fan as I am, you live for days like these. The day kicks off with a HUGE B1G matchup with two recently struggling teams in Ohio State at Wisconsin. I’ll have no choice but to go to a bar with multiple TVs for the 4 awesome games at 4:00 PM. I was hoping to get a glimpse of recently cleared Florida Freshman Chris Walker, but ESPN is reporting he won’t make his season debut until Tuesday vs Mizzou. The day’s biggest game has to be Duke at Syracuse at 6:30 PM, and a great day of basketball ends with #1 Arizona at California. Wow. What a day.
Whether you’re wagering on the games or not, enjoy one of the best pre-March game days college basketball has to offer.
