↵Michigan St. Spartans at Washington Huskies, 5, ESPN2: After being upset by the Connecticut Huskies, Sparty hopes to salvage their Maui Invitational visit by beating another set of Huskies.
↵Miami Heat at Orlando Magic, 7:30, ESPN: Aw, even the NBA is into Hate Week. They share geography so they hate each other, right? No? The undefeated 8-6 Miami Heat, on pace for 47 wins, can move an entire game ahead of the Atlanta Hawks
↵UCLA Bruins at Villanova Wildcats, 9, ESPN2: The Bruins face a tough run against the No. 7 Wildcats and No. 6 Kansas Jayhawks, good scheduling for a team with tourney ambitions in a Pac-10 short on elite competition.
↵Connecticut Huskies at Kentucky Wildcats, 10, ESPN: Not even a small (by Hawaii standards) earthquake could keep Calipari's Cats from beating sudden (Hate Week literally) rival Washington. Now I'll make the same mascot connection as above and call it a preview.

↵Detroit Red Wings at Atlanta Thrashers, 7, SportSouth: After torching the Washington Capitals in Blueland, anything can happen here, right? Maybe? Probably not?
