Lindy's college basketball preview mag has a list of 7 "non-conference tilts to get us pumped"

I will list Lindy's top games. From the list only, rank the games in order that you will get pumped to watch. Then add games that the mag missed that should be good non-confernece games to get pumped for.

Lindy's
1-Mich state at Kansas
2-UCONN at Texas
3-Illinois vs UNC in greensboro
4-Duke at Mich State
5-Kentucky at Mich state
6-Stanford vs Gonzaga at Oakland
7-Illinois vs Missouri at Saint Louis

Out of this list, this is my rankings
1-Mich state at Kansas
2-Illinois vs Missouri
3-UCONN at Texas
4-Kentucky at Mich State
5-Duke at Mich State
6-Illinois vs UNC
7-Stanford vs 'Zaga

I am very not intested in Illionis/UNC and Stanford/Zaga

Games that Lindys missed that people should get pumped for. Of course all KU non-confernce games that I get very pumped for. Three games of KU non-confernce that would be interesting
Valpo Nov 29 just 3 days after Mich state, tough, @ stanford Dec 6, and Oregon in KC Dec 13.

but other games

Missouri at Gonzaga. That game will be very intersting. SHould be a tough game for Missouri. I rather see that game that has Zaga than the Stanford/zaga game

Missouri at Indiana-Another tough matchup for Missouri. I like the Hoosiers,a nd I dislike the Tigers, should be very etertaining

Oklahoma at Michigan State-Another MSU game. Man MSU is playing a virgous schedule. That should be a god game, and a revenge game for MSU after losing to Oklahoma the last matchup

Oklahoma at UCONN-Can not believe Lindys did not had this game on their list. this is a very good matchup. I am so looking forward to this game

Texas at Duke-man antoehr game that would be fun to watch, and it will get me pumped to watch. Lindy is really missing some good games here

Maryland at Florida-if this game was a couple years ago, then it most likly made Lindy's list, but still an entertainign game for non-conference matchups

UNC at Kentucky-Now this is a matchup to wartch. Coaches alone is great. Roy WIlliams vs Tubby Smith. WOW!

UCONN at UNC-Man, a nice middle of confernece season non-confernce game Jan 17. This should be fun to watch, and it can bring some NCAA Dance storylines to see if UCONN would even be a #1 seed. SOme ramifcations will be in effect this game

These are just some examples of great non-conferecne games that the Lindys missed. Are there any other great non-confenrce games?

In other words, this upcoming season will be a fun season, and I am so far looking forward to it.

if that stanford vs gonzaga game is not on tv, i'm going to scream. right now no one has picked it up.

i think a big game in a lot of peoples' minds is that michigan state vs kentucky game. they will try to set an attendance record for most people to ever attend a college basketball game.

Due to the circumstances in which the game was finally being played, the Western Kentucky vs Louisville game is our biggest. Rick Pitino tried everything in his might to avoid playing this game, but the Kentucky legislature is requiring the game be played. Granted, both of these Kentucky teams are having to drive to Nashville, TN to play the game.

December 4th, 9pm. ESPN I believe.

i don't listen to any list that doesn't have Xavier and UC...It is the most underated game in the history of basketball.

I can not wait until that game to see you and xubrew is psyched each other out to see who will win that game.

Yes sir. The story is, Louisville and WKU signed a home and home agreement. WKU played at Louisville in 2000 (and won!). Louisville was supposed to return the game in Nashville in 2001. Denny Crum asked to have the game delayed a year, in return he would play in Diddle (which would be the first game in the renovated arena.) This was a verbal agreement. Crum gets fired. Pitino comes in. Pitino choses not to play the game, and wants to use the buy out clause (which I would think be void since they didn't buy it out before the contract was up). Anyway... WKU's AD took it to the media. The KY legislature decided that WKU needed the cash flows from that game to help pay for the renovation, and pushed Louisville to play it. We are finally playing. More reasons to dislike Pitino.

Man you guys are going to get smoked without Sparks, Boyden, Williams and Videnov. I hope Big Jelly steps up.
