Mega Saturday college hoops thread

Oh hellz yes. No football on the tube (aside from the European kind), and all my attention can be devoted to college hoops. We are approaching the halfway point of conference play in most places, and there are some killer matchups in store for Saturday. Here are just some:

Louisville at West Virginia, 11 a.m.
-Louisville has had all week to prepare for this one game in Morgantown, and they desperately could use a signature road win to polish up their résumé. WVU, meanwhile, took care of business at DePaul, and the Mountaineers are slowly creeping back near the 2 line on the projections.

Duke at Georgetown, 12 p.m.
-These powerhouses step OOC for massive showcase. Neither is in any real danger, and a loss wouldn't particularly hurt either of these teams. But it should be a hella entertaining game to watch.

Oklahoma State at Missouri, 1 p.m.
-Missouri got rocked at the Phog during the week and needs to rebound strong at home against an Okie State team that got a solid win over A&M earlier this week. The Cowboys are charging in the Big 12, but Mizzou should be able to bounce back and hold serve at home in what could be a thrilling game in Columbia.

Vanderbilt at Kentucky, 3 p.m.
-Something has to give in this one. Kentucky looked pitiful in their loss at USC and favors to bounce back strong at Rupp. But Vandy has won 10 straight, is in first place in the SEC East, and are among the hottest teams in America. Can Beal, Ogilvy, and Co. really go into Lexington and come out with an 11th victory in a row?

Kansas at Kansas State, 6 p.m.
The site of College Gameday this weekend is Manhattan as in-state rivals clash in a huge Big 12 game. KSU has already knocked off Texas at home this season, and they won a tight game at Baylor earlier in the week. Kansas, meanwhile, is poised to move back to No. 1 in the polls with a win. Perimeter defense will be paramount for both teams.

Harvard at Cornell, 6 p.m.
-You laugh, but this might be the game of the day. Both teams are undefeated in Ivy League play, both are on the radar of the tournament committee, and Cornell could be a single-digit seed before it's all said and done. This is a team, after all, that came within a minute or so of winning at Kansas. Highly intriguing, and could be a huge road victory for the Crimson.
