Now this is a great set of games!

Jan. 30:
Baylor at Texas, 9pm (ESPN)

Jan. 31:
Kansas State at Kansas, 8pm (ESPN+)

Feb. 1:
Providence at Xavier, 6:30pm (FS1)

Feb. 2:
Florida Atlantic at UAB, 7pm (CBSSN)

Feb. 4:
Kansas at Iowa State, noon (ESPN)
Auburn at Tennessee, 2pm (ESPN)
Purdue at Indiana, 4pm
North Carolina at Duke, 6:30pm (ESPN)
Gonzaga at St. Mary's, 10:30pm (ESPN)

Feb. 5
South Carolina at Connecticut Women, noon (FOX)

The Big 12 is featured early as Baylor and Texas meet on "Big Monday" and there's a Sunflower State rematch on Tuesday. Florida Atlantic likely faces its toughest remaining test on Thursday when it travels to UAB (they also have a game at Charlotte Saturday as well). It will be tough for FAU to finish next week without a loss.

How about Saturday? Purdue-Indiana hasn't been finalized in terms of TV but I'm guessing that will also be ESPN. It doesn't matter what the records are, North Carolina and Duke are playing. The games that day scream "rivalry day" (the 8:30pm game is Florida-Kentucky, traditionally the biggest SEC rivalry). Gonzaga already lost a WCC game, St. Mary's could go two up on the Zags.

Finally it's a rematch of last year's women's national championship as South Carolina and UConn play.

Interesting.

Looking at that, there is no result from those two teams that helps me at all. lol

Adding in St. Mary's:

GoldenWarrior11: 7 (Texas, Kansas, Xavier, UAB, Tennessee, Duke, St. Mary's)

Skyhawk: 6 (Kansas, UAB, Tennessee, Indiana, Duke, St. Mary's)
Schmolik: 6 (Kansas, Xavier, UAB, Iowa State, Tennessee, Duke)

ChrisLords: 5 (Kansas, Xavier, UAB, Tennessee, Duke)
ShannonPanther: 5 (Kansas, Xavier, UAB, Tennessee, Duke)

Picks will be official at the end of the women's game. Assuming no errors, GoldenWarrior11 has clinched at least a tie. If South Carolina wins, I will tie, otherwise GoldenWarrior11 wins outright.

Final:

GoldenWarrior11: 7 (Texas, Kansas, Xavier, UAB, Tennessee, Duke, St. Mary's)
Schmolik: 7 (Kansas, Xavier, UAB, Iowa State, Tennessee, Duke, South Carolina Women)

ChrisLords: 6 (Kansas, Xavier, UAB, Tennessee, Duke, South Carolina Women)
