Today’s Preview: Can West Virginia and Cincinnati Pull Off Road Upsets?

If you’re a fan of the Atlantic Sun, MEAC, and SWAC, then this is your kind of night in college basketball. For everyone else, well, there’s a few games that will hold your attention but that’s about it.

Oh, and we hear there’s a pretty good football game scheduled to take place as well.

Here’s a look at today’s games of note:

Oklahoma (10-4, 0-2) at Oklahoma State (8-7, 1-1) – 7 PM ET, ESPNU

The Sooners were winless in their first two conferences games, but their opponents were Missouri and Kansas. Meanwhile, OK State looks to put a yucky 58-49 loss at Texas behind them. The Cowboys might be looking ahead to their matchup with Baylor on Saturday, which could make this one interesting.

Prediction: OK State 64, Oklahoma 58

West Virginia (12-4, 3-1) at #8 UConn (12-3, 2-2) – 7 PM ET, ESPN 2

This seems like it could be a letdown situation for West Virginia after the big win over Georgetown. Also keep in mind that the Huskies are coming off of a deflating loss at Rutgers. UConn bounces back with a win.

Prediction: UConn 71, West Virginia 63

Cincinnati (12-4, 2-1) at #9 Georgetown (13-2, 3-1) – 9 PM ET, ESPNU

Intriguing matchup between two teams that are off to good starts in the Big East. The Hoyas had their 11-game win streak snapped in Morgantown, but they’ve got a chance to start a nice little streak here given their next few games (St. Johns, Depaul, Rutgers, and Pitt).

Prediction: Georgetown 73, Cincinnati 62

Again, an abbreviated preview today, but the Big East matchups should be fun. What are your thoughts on tonight’s games?
