What The Games Mean Today

By:  Cooper Ledford

I am going to say what the games mean today for the SWO Sports Teams, so without further ado, here they are:

#1Ohio State @ Northwestern (6 PM ET, ESPN2): Ohio State is the last unbeaten team in the nation.  They have beaten some very good teams, and are coming off of a great win against a tough Purdue team.  OSU silenced the doubters with that win, can they stay unbeaten, or will the Wildcats pull the upset?

#14Kentucky vs. Georgia (4 PM ET, ESPN):  UGA is a very good team, that's why they were able to beat UK earlier this season by 7.  This time, UK is in Lexington, so they should have the advantage.  The Wildcats will be looking for revenge on the Bulldogs, while UGA is coming off a tough loss to Florida in 2OT, they will be looking to rebound.

Cincinnati vs. West Virginia (8 PM ET, FS OHIO):  Bob Huggins and the Mountaineers come to Cincinnati to take on the Bearcats.  Bob Huggins was of course a former UC head coach, and the 'Cats would love to scratch him and the rest of a tough WVU team.  Cincinnati might have the advantage, as they have a better record, look like a better team, and are playing at home.  For the first time in a while, I feel like UC could take down WVU.

Xavier @ Richmond (NOON ET, ESPN2):  This is a crucial time for XU, as they are playing quite a bit of road games in the near future.  The one they are playing today is perhaps the toughest.  The Spiders are a great team, a team, like Xavier, made the NCAA Tournament last season.  If Xavier can play as good of a game as they did last week versus Temple, maybe a bit better since they are on the road, they should be able to get the win.  The Musketeers last game was against George Washington, as XU pulled away with a close win.  They need to improve a bit if they want to beat the Spiders.  This would also be a big win for the Muskies, as they would remain perfect in the Atlantic 10, and would receive even more votes to be ranked.
