Looking for something to bet on before you dive head-first into NFL Sunday? The options are plentiful. There’s some NBA stuff worth watching. The Australian Open is happening. Oh, and there are some good Big 12 college basketball matchups on the women’s side this Saturday. Lucky for me, I get to keep tabs on all of them (my job).
But there’s no doubt that most of my focus will be on some of the men’s college basketball matchups. From the early morning Big Ten showdown in East Lansing to the late-night Pac-12 hoops at Pauley Pavillion, I’ve got my eye on five specific games that are sure to live up to the hype on Saturday’s slate.
