What The Games Mean Today

By:  Cooper Ledford

Today, all 4 of the SWO Sports basketball teams play (Ohio State, Kentucky, Cincinnati, and Xavier) here is what each of those games have a stake and what the games mean to the teams.

Ohio State @ Illinois (NOON ET-CBS).  The Buckeyes have looked a bit shaky as of late, they need to prove they are the best team in the Big Ten, stay unbeaten, and remain #1.

Kentucky @ South Carolina (6 PM ET-ESPN).  South Carolina has had their way with the Wildcats, and Kentucky has not looked great.  They have not won an SEC road game, and they need to rebound from a tough loss to Bama.  Kentucky has a lot to make up for and prove in this game.

Cincinnati @ St. Johns (4 PM ET-FS Ohio).  The Bearcats need to prove they can beat some good teams in the Big East.  They have lost to some good teams (Villanova, Syracuse, and Notre Dame).  St. Johns is a pretty decent team as they are 11-6.  Cincy needs to get back on track and win some games, starting with the game today.

Xavier vs. Temple (3:00 PM ET-ESPN2).  This is a match-up between the two top dogs in the Atlantic 10.  Xavier looked shaky in their last game vs. St. Bonaventure, but they pulled away with a win.  As long as they play like them selves, like they did versus Butler, Wake Forest, and other teams, they should be able to get the W.  Also, the game will take place in the Cintas Center, which is the home of the Muskies, this should give XU an advantage, the Cintas Center is one of the toughest places to play in the Atlantic 10 nation.
