Big Monday just won’t be the same without Blake Griffin in the middle. Oklahoma is smartly resting him (this writer knows concussions are no joke) and it might actually help their March Madness cause to learn how to win without him against Kansas.Tuesday night finally provides some reason to watch SEC basketball with Florida taking a trip to Baton Rouge for a showdown against LSU. Florida’s road record is highly lacking, so the Gators will need to turn up the heat to improve their seeding.
Without Jerome Dyson, Connecticut may find it a little harder to keep Marquette’s super Senior trio out of the paint when they head to Milwaukee on Wednesday. Marquette will have to prove they can handle teams with interior scoring.
Arizona State faces off against Washington on Thursday in a showdown for Pac Ten supremacy. The winner will have the inside track on the #1 seed in the conference tournament.
Clemson travels down to Florida State on Saturday looking for revenge. We’ll see whether Clemson has mentally stabilized as well as if Florida State is ready to play with expectations.
It’s not an easy week for LSU as they end it with a road contest at Kentucky. Their motivation may stem on Tuesday’s result, but Kentucky should be extremely motivated with few quality wins on their resume.
Sunday’s have become my favorite day for college basketball and this one will be no different. Marquette, fresh off their UConn game, rolls into Louisville in a game with Big East seeding implications. Kansas gets a chance to avenge their disappointing finish when they traveled to Missouri. Finally, Illinois and Michigan State should provide about 110 points of offense in an all out brawl.
