OK, You Have My Attention

Toughest Schedule

Purdue

Game Of The Week

Vanderbilt vs Purdue 12/22

12/18

• Clemson vs South Carolina...the battle for South Carolina...the fans love each other

12/19

• Virginia vs Villanova...big time matchup of the V's, time we found out how legit this Villanova team is
• Duke vs Utah...neutral court game, first test for Duke without Amile Jefferson
• UNC vs UCLA...neutral court game, first test for UNC without Kennedy Meeks
• Notre Dame vs Indiana...in state battle, two good(?) teams
• Baylor vs Texas A&M...big time Texas matchup
• Albany vs St. Francis (PA)...interested to see how Albany bounces back after the Siena loss
• Princeton vs Maryland...for Ross
• Dartmouth vs New Hampshire...battle for the state
• Iona vs Rhode Island...interested to see how injuries affect Iona against a tougher opponent

12/20

• Pittsburgh vs Davidson...two quality teams
• Stony Brook vs Hofstra...the battle for Long Island. Almost broke my rule of never stepping foot on Long Island during the winter except for holiday's with the fam or Albany games for this one. Alas, Rutgers/Monmouth is the same day...and it's 10 minutes from home
• Monmouth vs Rutgers...see above

12/21

• UNC vs Appalachian State...because it's UNC

12/22

• Virginia vs California...time to check in on Ivan Rabb and Jaylen Brown
• Vanderbilt vs Purdue...big time matchup, GAME OF THE WEEK. (Arguably, any Villanova/Virginia fans with an issue can direct their concerns to @AE_DanaF )
• Michigan State vs Oakland...#1 vs Kay Felder
• Stony Brook vs Lehigh...because I may drive over for it

12/23

• Baylor vs New Mexico St...Rico Gathers
• UMBC vs Towson...nice Baltimore-ish matchup
• Albany vs Niagara...revenge game for Albany from a beatdown in 2014

12/24

• NO GAMES
