With the help of Toledo, Wright State and Gonzaga, everyone survives another week. Conference races are heating up so I will try to pick the best weekend games from six different conferences.

Heading into week 5, dannyb73 still has (++) in has back pocket.

This Week's Games:
Xavier @ Creighton - The Musketeers are nipping at Nova's heels in the Big East. But a road win at Creighton will be no easy task.

Purdue @ Michigan State - #3 Purdue is unbeaten in Big Ten play. This roadie in East Lansing will be their biggest test to date.

USC @ Arizona - USC is one game behind Arizona in the tightly contested PAC.

Gonzaga @ St. Mary's - The Gaels are 12-0 in conference play, the Zags are 11-1. In my dreams I think how cool it would be if Kent and Akron were as dominate in the MAC each year as these two teams. Heck, I'd settle for Kent and Ohio, or Kent and Buffalo. Either way, this is a great rivalry between two teams I like to pull for in March.

Marquee Games:
Penn @ Harvard - Penn is the lone unbeaten in the Ivy. Harvard sits at 5-1. It is interesting to look at their overall records. Penn is the only team in the league with a winning record. Harvard is 10-11 I believe.

Louisiana @ Georgia Southern. Legit road test for the 20-3/10-0 Cajuns. Didn't Louisiana cme to the MAC Center for a bracket buster? Those were the days!


As usual these are Saturday contests.

I bet you were a little nervous today.

I forgot it was on actually.

Don’t often get a non-shooting foul with :00.2 left on the road. I’m sure Creighton was not happy with that call.
