Welcome back to the weekend watch. It’s been awhile but
let’s jump into it.
All Weekend
Conference Tournaments
I will be watching lots of college basketball this weekend
and will highlight a few of the championship games below, but the point is,
even though I’m only going to highlight the Championship Games of the
tournaments, I will be watching more rounds then just that.
Friday
8 PM EST: Nashville Predators vs Chicago Blackhawks (Comcast
Sports Net)
This game shouldn’t be much of a game as the Blackhawks are
2nd in their division, 3rd in the conference while the
Predators are last in the conference and 3rd to last in the
conference. Saying all that, Nashville always gives the Blackhawks trouble, I
would keep an eye on this game because it might be closer than it should be.
Who I want to win: Chicago Blackhawks
Who I think will win: Chicago Blackhawks
Saturday
NCAA Conference Championship games
Sunday
Of all sports days this weekend, Sunday looks the best.
1 PM EST: NASCAR Food
City 500 @ Bristol Motor Speedway (FOX)
I know you guys are thinking I’m still drunk on NASCAR after
my trip to Daytona for the 500. While that might be the case, Bristol is one of
the better races of the year that I used to watch before I started going to
Daytona. It’s a .5 mile track with 43 Cars on it. Even though it’s not as fun
since the track has been repaved, there is always a lot of action, passing and
wrecking. If you are nursing a St Patrick’s Day celebration hangover and want
to watch something other than College Basketball, try and catch the last 30
laps of this race, I think you will enjoy.
Who I want to win: Tony Stewart
Who I think will win: Kyle Busch
NCAA Basketball
Selection Show (CBS)
QUEUE THE MUSIC
Now that you are as jacked up as I am, this is the best
non-sport sports event of the year outside the NFL Draft. Who’s in, who’s out,
who are you going to pick for your brackets, just a great show.
Who I want to win: Indiana, ok they need a miracle to get in
but whatever
Who I think will win: It’s too early still, but screw it
I’ll say Kansas
7:30 PM EST: Detroit
Red Wings vs Chicago Blackhawks (NBC)
Now that Detroit and Chicago are in different divisions and
missing out on more rivalry games we should cherish the ones we get. Both teams
are playing for something as Chicago is trying to catch St Louis (I don’t think
they will) for the top seed in the division while Detroit is trying to make the
playoffs as a number 8 seed. This was a fantastic series in last years
playoffs, well at least for Blackhawks fans, and I’m looking forward to this
one as well. I will leave Jeremy Piven to have the last words on this game here.

Indiana might not even get into the NIT, honestly.
