December 9 Predictions (Early shift)

Wisconsin (11 - AP, 12 - ESPN/USA Today) vs. Marquette (17, 20)

If you're a big fan of guard play ... this one is for you. Everyone is on the Dominic James (17 ppg, 4.2 apg) bangwagon, I'm not sold on him yet. Let's see what he can do against the Badgers stud-studded backcourt in Kammron Taylor (11.9 ppg) and Alando Tucker (19.3 ppg).

Wes Matthews (Marquette) and Michael Flowers (Wisconsin) are underrated and watch for them to have big games.

Prediction: Wisconsin 64, Marquette 59

Texas A&M (6, 6) vs. UCLA (1, 1)

Things don't get any easier for the Aggies. After losing at LSU on Tuesday in a rematch of last year's NCAA tournament classic, the Aggies now have to travel to Cali to face the #1 Bruins. C'mon that's not fair. Well life isn't fair, so Acie Law (13.6 ppg, 4.8 apg) and company has to deal with it.

Texas A&M boasts four guys that average in double figures going up against the Bruins, who also have four that are up in double figures. Arron Affalo (17.1 ppg) vs Law is going to capture everyone's attention and rightfully so.

Prediction: UCLA 84, Texas A&M 77
