↵Utah Jazz at Atlanta Hawks, 7, ESPN: After knocking off the Orlando Magic and Miami Heat, the somehow terrifying Jazz continue their [General Sherman joke] of the Southeast Division. As Phil notes in his pregame coverage, they've done so in dramatic fashion, and if I knew more about jazz music I'd make a really great metaphor for their many come-from-behind wins using jazz jargon. This would be a very, very good win -- breaking a three-game slide, drawing sort of even with the Magic, and letting us freely marvel at the undefeated four-loss Heat. GAME OF THE DAY!
↵Mississippi Valley St. Devils at Georgia Bulldogs, 7:30, CSS: The Dawgs tip off a promising season minus star forward Trey Thompkins, whose recovery from injury isn't coming along any quicker than expected. Also, Stegeman has been redone, so I can't really make any jokes about it, which takes away a lot of easy typing.

↵Boise St. Broncos at Idaho Vandals, 9, ESPN2: Due to Boise's Mountain West Conference callup, one of college football's best little secrets is in danger of ending. The absolute contempt these two programs have for each other is impressive -- it's like an SEC rivalry, except one in which one of the schools plays in Moscow OH WAIT! In the past few months Boise's president talked trash while Idaho's AD made a big show of refusing to board a plane bearing Bronco regalia. And that's their most responsible public faces -- their fans get after each other with sincerity that would make AL.com wince.
