What's on the tube?

If the Winter Games and American Idol aren't your thing, then you might be like me and wondering what college basketball games are on tap for the night. In that case, I'll break down the games that could be worth your time...

#6 Kansas State at Texas Tech (7 PM CST on ESPN360)
Here's a tough Big 12 match-up in Lubbock. Texas Tech almost beat the Longhorns over the weekend, but then again, who hasn't? Still, Tech has been a scrappy team on their home floor all season long, so look for another good game here. Prediction: Kansas State should find enough ways to win, in what should be a fun and enjoyable game to watch.

#13 Georgetown at Louisville (6 PM CST on ESPN2)
In the past few weeks, the Cards have gone from being a NIT lock, to the NCAA bubble, to being firmly in the NCAA tourney field. Meanwhile, Georgetown has been moving in the opposite direction lately, though they're probably still a safe pick for Selection Sunday. Look for a competitive game tonight. Prediction: I hope Georgetown kills 'em, but I predict Louisville to squeak out another win at home.

#17 Tennessee at Florida (8 PM CST on ESPN)
Florida is fighting for their NCAA lives, and as of right now, will probably be one of the last few to earn a spot at the Big Dance. A win tonight would put them firmly in and would certainly help their seeding prospects. Meanwhile, Tennessee has probably dropped to that 5 to 7 seed range, and could use a few more quality wins to earn a higher seed. Long story short: both teams want and need to win this game tonight. Prediction: Look for the "Rowdy Reptiles" to will their home team on to a close, hard fought victory.

Illinois at Michigan (6 PM CST on ESPN)
Illinois is on the bubble and a win tonight could be another push in the right direction. Meanwhile, Michigan can only hope for a NIT bid right now, unless there's an unlikely championship run through the Big 10 tournament. In short, Illinois has more to play for, and should be playing with more passion and determination tonight. Prediction: Illinois by 5.
