Today is loaded with big time games. Notre Dame-Syracuse, Georgetown-Duke, Oklahoma State-Baylor, Wake Forest-Clemson, Arizona State-UCLA, Illinois-Michigan State, Pitt-Louisville, Cal-Stanford, Ohio State-Michigan, Miami-North Carolina, Boise State-Utah State, and Wyoming-UNLV. Good day to have DirecTV and Full Court.

Also, we'll get to see Arky-Fla. Must win for Arkansas and we'll also see if Florida is a legit contender for the SEC crown and for an NCAA bid.

So - how much will Clemson get spanked by? Or are they actually fielding a team that can go undefeated in OOC play AND actually make the tournament this year?

This Syracuse/ND game is pretty good.

McAlarney has some of the best range in the country from what little I've seen of him. Harangody and Flynn are both animals too.

I'd be surprised if Clemson won. As for the G-Town/Duke game, anyone who loves exceptional defense will be in for a treat. I can't wait, hopefully Duke can pull it off.

Those are a couple of names that should be nominated for the All Name Team.

Clemson could lose today, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Clemson's a good team, with a top-10 resume at this point in the season. But Clemson's not the kind of team that has a top-10 ranking in March.

Wake's legit. That's a squad that could make a run and advance to the Final Four. Clemson will finish 10-6 in the ACC, and they'll be fortunate to make the Sweet 16.

Unlike last year Duke actually defends. They're better down low as Zoubek and Thomas have showed some improvement, but that's as good as you'll get down low. They'll be poised to at least make an Elite 8 run this year.

Have always enjoyed watching Syracuse play at the Carrier Dome. Beating ND just makes it better.

If anybody wants to see how you are supposed to attack a 2-3, just tune in to Duke when GT zones them. They attack the foul line, they swing the ball from one side to another, they probe the post and the baseline. They move and screen and pass crisply and are ready to shoot on the wings.

It isn't always going to work--Georgetown is too good defensively--but that is the way you do it.

I like me some Johnny Flynn.

Also, Gerald Henderson has two of the best dunks I have seen this year.
