Two of the Big East's six ranked teams go head-to-head as Marquette visits Villanova (6:30 CST on ESPN2). To me, this is one of the better mascot match ups you'd want to see: a wildcat vs. a golden eagle. Cats like to eat birds, so it's an inherently good pairing, and here you've basically got a crazy-ass super-charged cat against a rather intimidating bird with an 8-foot wingspan. Think about it ... see? Tough to say what would happen. You might jump to the conclusion that the wildcat would win, but keep in mind that cats often struggle against speedy opponents because they have a tendency to lose focus and start plotting evil deeds, fantasizing about inflicting large-scale suffering upon all humankind. Because they're evil.
On the court, Marquette dropped a stunner to South Florida on Friday, the Bulls' first ever win against a top 10 team. Villanova has won 5 in a row, and is 11-1 at home. I think the one-point loss in Florida might still be messing with the Golden Eagles' heads, and 'Nova's been on a roll. The cats get the upper hand in this one.
On the NBA side, the Bulls finally return home to face the Pistons (7:30 on Comcast SportsNet). The Bulls looked to have gained a spark during their road trip, beating the Clippers, Sacramento, Phoenix and New Orleans, and losing to Dallas by one in overtime. The Bulls are about as predictable as Power Ball numbers, but I think they'll take down the Pistons, if for no other reason than because the Bulls are actually favored, and it would be rude of them to ruin such a special occasion.
I don't think I--wait, let me think ... nope, I've never predicted a sports game incorrectly, so find a bookie and go make some money!
