Washington at #21 Washington St Saturday, 6 |
#22 Maryland at #25 Virginia Tech Sunday, 7:30, FSN |

|
Texas will finally break through on the road, led by their terrific freshmen. Texas |
Both teams are inconsistent, but Arkansas is at home and has the edge in depth. Arkansas |
Huskers are fading fast, Cougars are rolling. This could get ugly. Washington State |
Hokies have experience, and the Terps haven't been the same since November. Virginia Tech |
|
|
Can anyone guard Durant? Horns freshmen, Texas
|
Hogs have nobody who can stop Big Baby, but athletic wings plus home crowd will be enough for upset. Arkansas
|
Huskies still too young and inconsistent (5 of 6 losses on the road) +
Cougars Washington State
|
Hokies are playing with confidence, and Dowdell &
Gordon are most underrated backcourt Virginia Tech
|
|
|
The epic loss to OK St only made Texas better.. this one will come down to the wire. Texas
|
Smart money's on the Hogs winning at home, but Big Baby is due for a monster game.. his 25+ will lead the Tigers. LSU
|
UW still hasn't won a road game and WSU hasn't lost a home game? Both streaks come to an end though. Washington
|
Coming off a loss at FSU, the Hokies will be hungry for another big ACC win. Virginia Tech
|

Super-star versus home-court advantage. In a close contest, the Wildcats prevail over Kevin Durant and his fellow frosh phenoms. Villanova |
Razorbacks need this one more than the Tigers and will want it more.
Arkansas |
The Huskies have too much talent to be 1-5. The Cougars don’t have enough to be 4-2. But they are. Make that 5-2 after Saturday. Washington State |
Both are talented, veteran teams, but the Hokies have been playing better than the Terrapins. At home, Virginia Tech gets the W. Virginia Tech |
|
? |
Fatigue should be an issue for the Horns but the fact that Kevin Durant is Superman should also be an issue. Texas by a few. Texas |
Razorbacks on a three-game skid, LSU can’t beat anyone on the road. Hopefully Gus Johnson is calling this game. Arkansas |
Tough one. Huskies have way more size but no road wins and 1-5 in Pac-10. I’ll take the team without the guy named Robbie Cowgill. Washington |
Maryland’s ranking is based solely on their win against overrated Clemson. Tech got the Duke/UNC let down game out of the way against FSU. Somewhere Gary Williams is drenched. Virginia Tech |
