College Basketball Tonight

(2) Ohio State vs. (3) Duke vs.... 9:30, ESPN It's not often you see the AP poll's No. 3 team in the country as a 7-point underdog, but that's the case tonight when the Blue Devils (7-0) travel to UrbanMeyerLand, Ohio to take on the No. 2 Buckeyes (6-0). The Brothers Plumlee will have their hands full with Jared Sullinger, while Duke's guards will look to keep their team in the game with the long ball. If Rivers and Curry are knocking down shots, I believe Duke has a chance. Otherwise, it'll be all Buckeyes, all night. Ohio State students have been camping outside of the arena in hopes to get a front row seat. Reports out of Columbus say there were as many as five tents last night. Five tents? In Kentucky, we call that one family from Hazard waiting for Big Blue Madness tickets. This is a must-see game, though. (7) Baylor vs. Prairie View... 8:00, ESPN 3 You'll have to watch this one on your computer but it might be worth checking out, at least for a few minutes. Quincy Miller is making an early case for Freshman of the Year, averaging 15 points through five games for the undefeated Bears, and Perry Jones III returns to the lineup after his five-game suspension to start the season. Plus there is always a chance Deuce Bello will cram on someone. Baylor is going to be exciting to watch this season. And don't act like you never had a man crush on Quincy Miller. Virginia vs. (14) Michigan... 7:00, ESPN 2 This Big Ten/ACC matchup isn't extremely appealing to the Kentucky fan, but it's a good one for fans of college basketball because Michigan could be legit. The Wolverines (5-1) won their first three games of the season as heavy favorites and then stole one from No. 8 Memphis in the Maui Invitational. Michigan followed that win up with an 8-point loss in Maui to No. 3 Duke and then a win over UCLA. Tonight's road game at Virginia (5-1) is a chance for Michigan to prove itself in a true road game -- not one with fans wearing flip-flops and leis. Confession: Tim Hardaway Jr. is becoming one of my favorite non-Kentucky players in America. (4) Syracuse vs. Eastern Michigan... 7:00 Eastern Michigan head coach Rob Murphy sat next to Bernie Fine as an assistant at Syracuse from 2004-2011. The game isn't televised. It's just awkward. Maryland vs. Illinois... 7:30, ESPN Doris Burke is doing play-by-play. Have fun with that one.
