The Slate

We are knocking on the door of March. It is almost time for the madness to begin. Get ready to win that $1 billion from Warren Buffett.

Thursday, Feb. 27

College basketball (6-8 p.m., CSS): In the Golden Eagles' final home game this season, Southern Miss plays Florida International, hoping to stay perfect at home.

Friday, Feb. 28

NBA (7 p.m.-12 a.m., ESPN): A NBA doubleheader should keep you busy on Friday night as New York hosts Golden State, followed by New Orleans at Phoenix.

Saturday, March 1

College basketball (6-8 p.m., FSN): If Ole Miss doesn't beat Alabama in its midweek clash, the Rebels will be on a five-game losing streak when they face Texas A&M to begin March.

Sunday, March 2

College basketball (3-5 p.m., CBS): A Big Ten battle has Ohio State looking to beat Indiana on the road—the Buckeyes need a win to improve their seeding late in the season but the Hoosiers will be working for the upset. 
Monday, March 3

NHL (7-10 p.m., NBCSN): The best hockey players are back from the Olympics, so this week's hockey fix features the Dallas Stars hosting the Buffalo Sabres.

Tuesday, March 4

College basketball (6-8 p.m., ESPN U): The Florida Gators are, without question, the best team in the Southeastern Conference, but can they defeat South Carolina on the road to remain unbeaten in SEC play?

Wednesday, March 5

College basketball (6-8 p.m., CSS): Mississippi State hasn't had the players to compete at SEC level, but the Bulldogs should be able to keep things close against Georgia.

Maybe I should get a group together to figure out which teams to pick in the NCAA Tournament. I would be more than willing to share Buffett's $1 billion with everyone who helps me out. Who's with me?
