Game of the Day 1/3/10

Tomorrow there are a few games on that I think will be excellent. My pick for game of the day is: (21) Clemson @ (7)Duke. That's the game I'd most like to watch, but that's not the game I'm predicting.

I am predicting the UTEP @ (20)Texas Tech game. I predict UTEP to win a close one and bump Texas Tech out of the top 25. Texas Tech started off the season 9-0 but have gone 2-2 since then, barely surviving against 5-8 McNeese St. in their last game. Even if Texas Tech decides to play some D tomorrow and get a win, they have a rough schedule coming up including games vs (1)Kansas and (2)Texas. They will get bumped sooner or later.

UTEP (9-2) is right in the mix at the top of Conference USA. The last time they played the 20th ranked team was on 12/16/09. An overtime loss to Mississippi. Their only game vs a ranked opponent so far this season. They will come in with a chip on their shoulder. They want that win vs a ranked team. I think they get it. 86-83 UTEP.
