It’s a weird world in the day of college basketball.
It’s the last Saturday of the regular season, but there’s only 30 games on national television today. Part of that has to do with the fact that ESPN2 is occupied with women’s conference tournament action today. Part of that has to do with the fact that there are six national TV games tomorrow that aren’t part of a conference tournament that’s already underway, so there’s just less teams available today.
Still, we’ve got 14 games on national TV that feature a ranked team, and that’s pretty good.
