A Sports Filled Weekend
This should not be a six-pack. This should be a case of 24. You could watch college basketball all weekend and you would still miss good stuff in other sports. So we will make a few cogent suggestions and let you stick a couple of your own wild cards into the Weekend TV Six-Pack.
As you watch the NCAA Tournament unfold, various upsets will change expected matchups. Can’t even really guess right now what’s ahead for Sunday. But here are two games you shouldn’t miss.
First, it’s Kentucky and Indiana on Saturday at 5:15 p.m. from Des Moines, Iowa. These schools had a nice rivalry going but they last played in the regular season in 2011 and haven’t met since the NCAA tourney of 2012. Kentucky comes in at 27-8, Indiana 26-7. Should be fun to see these two together again.
Second, it’s Wichita State (26-8) and Miami (26-7). The Shockers are exactly that again. They beat Vanderbilt in a play-in game and then disassembled Arizona 65-55 on Thursday night. Miami slipped past Buffalo 79-22. This one tips at 12:10 p.m. on Saturday in Providence, R.I.
Pick yourself two more college games – your choice. Post a comment here on the website as to what you’re watching and why. It’s fun and it’s free!
My other suggestions for the weekend: Saturday night you may want to put aside the colleges for a bit and watch the Golden State Warriors play the San Antonio Spurs. The Warriors (as this is written) are 61-6, and just barely ahead of the Spurs (58-10) in the standings. Neither has lost at home, and that’s where the Spurs get the edge in this one. They are 34-0 in their own building. Lastly, Adam Scott, who won the first two Florida PGA Tour events, was one stroke off the lead after the opening round on Thursday of the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Orlando, Fla. Sunday’s finale could be a good one if first-round leader Jason Day also keeps it up.
Now sit. Put your heiner in the recliner and don’t move for the next 72 hours. There’s TV to be watched.
