Tuesday’s slate and what to watch

spt-111010-holloway

Mike Miller

By now you’ve been watching basketball most of the day thanks to the 24-hour hoops marathon. But there are quite a few games that aren’t part of the marathon.

It’s just that most of ‘em aren’t the ones most people care about. Here’s a few that you should.

Middle Tennessee at UCLA, 11 p.m. (Primeticket)
Is this the start of a Bruins’ mess? Forward Reeves Nelson is suspended and they lost their opener to Loyolya-Marymount. An 0-2 start would be cause for panic in Westwood.

LaSalle at Villanova, 7 p.m. (ESPN3)
A day after Temple and Penn staged a thrilling Big 5 game, we’ve got a chance for another. It’s a slim chance, but still …

IPFW at Xavier 7 p.m. (FSOhio)
This shouldn’t be much of a game, but it marks the season debut of Musketeers point guard Tu Holloway, who sat out Xavier’s opener for playing in two summer league game. I expect Holloway to take it out on the Mastodons.
