Weekend Matchups

Florida State/Uconn
Florida State travels up the coast to the Prudential Center to visit the Huskies who played well this past week against Arizona but I think Florida State will be too much in this matchup.  The energy of the crowd during the Arizona game was electric and although the majority of the crowd will be Uconn fans it won’t be the same atmosphere that the XL Center had this past weekend.  I believe this matchup will be close but I give the edge to the Seminoles.


Kentucky/Seton Hall
This young, talented Kentucky squad travels to Seton Hall this weekend and although the Pirates played well this week against Louisville and Miami, I think Kentucky’s talent will prevail.  I think this game will be close throughout, but Kentucky pulls it out in a close one.


St. Joseph/Villanova
This in state rivalry always excites and this Saturday matchup will be no different.  With Villanova losing 4 starters from last year and struggling to find their identity early in the season, I see a back and forth game with St. Joseph who has played well recently against Temple and West Virginia.  As this game progresses the crowd will become increasingly loud and St. Joseph pulls the upset in a close game.
