Focus will be on the Giants game but there is nice slate of Sunday football starting at noon.
12 PM:
Rhode Island @ Western Kentucky - WKU is one of my favorite mid-majors to watch and this is a good matchup. Both teams have an electric lead guard (Fatts vs Hollingsworth) and good supporting guards. Can the Mitchell bros stop Charles Bassey? Carson Williams is one of the most fascinating players to watch: a 6'5 240 post player built like a fullback with YMCA gym game.
Wright State @ Bowling Green - The best team in the Horizon vs the best team in the MAC. Excellent matchup for both teams and one of the better inter-mid major matchups of the year. Justin Turner reminds me a lot of Myles Powell.
UMass @ Northeastern - UMass dominated the first game of the matchup but Northeastern is slated to be one of the better teams in the CAA.
1 PM:
#19 Richmond @ #11 West Virginia - Excellent matchup. Richmond's excellent ball movement and shot selection vs. West Virginia's pressure defense. Richmond defends the backcourt nastily and Francis/Gilyard generate turnovers, but can they stop Culver and Tshiebwe in the post? Grant Golden is an excellent offensive player, but he is not known for his defense. Perfect game to have on during Giants' halftime.
2 PM:
Ohio @ Marshall - An excellent mid-major matchup between two offensive powerhouses. Ohio's Jason Preston and Marshall's Taevion Kinsey are two of the best guards in the country. Ohio nearly beat Illinois earlier this year and Dan D'Antoni's Marshall is always fun to watch.
Loyola-Chicago @ UIC - The Ramblers are projected to be a top-5 mid-major team while first-year coach Luke Yaklich had an impressive first offseason trying to build up the UIC program.
Penn State @ Michigan - Solid Big 10 matchup between two middle of the road conference mates.
3 PM:
San Francisco @ Cal - San Francisco's recent rise has been one of the better stories in the last five years. The excellent shooting Dons should be favorites.
4 PM:
#23 Arizona State @ Grand Canyon - After a down season last year led to Thunder Dan's firing, Bryce Drew has had a nice start to the season, starting undefeated including a win against Nevada. Inside-out Italian big Alessandro Lever has had a great start to his senior season and Wichita State transfer Asbjorn Midtgaard gives the team Power-5 size unseen in the mid-major ranks. Between sophomore lead guard Jovan Blacksher a very good '20 class (three top-350 247 recruits) Bryce Drew's tenure looks good now and for the long term.
SIU Edwardsville @ Northwestern - A chance to watch Sid against a solid team on ESPNU.
7:30 PM:
St. John's @ Georgetown - I would have never highlighted a game between two AAC basement teams but any Big East game is watchable! Georgetown simply doesn't have the talent to do much this year but St. John's has been a ton of fun to watch. Better than expected incoming class between freshmen Posh Alexander and Dylan Addae-Wusu plus JUCO gets Vince Cole and Isiah Moore. It's a testament to their improvement on talent especially how last year's key rotation players Josh Roberts and David Caraher are barely getting minutes this year.
9:30 PM
Stanford @ USC - A chance to watch Zhaire Williams and USC debuts #53 2021 prospect Reese Dixon-Waters after granted eligibility just days after graduating high school early. North Granby's Jaiden Delaire is still questionable with an unknown injury.
Enjoy!
