For as much as I�ve talked up Bramlage Coliseum � aka the Octagon of Doom � Kansas State lost at home to Oklahoma State last weekend. Anyone who watched KSU handle number-one Texas in that nasty environment in Manhattan must have been shocked to see the loss to OSU. I know I was. Something tells me the Wildcats will be ready to play on Saturday, however, especially since the College Gameday crew is coming to town.

Prediction: Kansas State 70, Kansas 68

GAMES TO KEEP AN EYE ON

Butler at Green Bay
Friday 8 p.m.

Butler hasn�t lost yet in Horizon League play. If the Bulldogs� undefeated record were destroyed, it�d be tonight. This is their toughest game of the conference season.

Prediction: Butler 76, Green Bay 66

Duke at Georgetown
Saturday 12 p.m.

Duke is probably a little deeper than Georgetown, but the Hoyas� starting five can play with anyone in the nation. At home, I�ll take G�Town in a squeaker.

Prediction: Georgetown 72, Duke 71

Oklahoma State at Missouri
Saturday 1 p.m.

If you like fast-paced basketball, watch this one on Saturday. Last year�s score in Stillwater was 97-95. Can you keep up?

Prediction: Missouri 88, Oklahoma State 80

Oklahoma State at Missouri
Saturday 1 p.m.

If you like fast-paced basketball, watch this one on Saturday. Last year�s score in Stillwater was 97-95. Can you keep up?

Prediction: Missouri 88, Oklahoma State 80

Baylor at Texas
Saturday 3 p.m.

Texas Tech gave Texas all it wanted and more on Wednesday in Austin. Baylor�s a better team than Tech with the same kind of offensive capabilities.

Prediction: Texas 78, Baylor 72

Vanderbilt at Kentucky
Saturday 3 p.m.

The first-place team in the SEC is starting to hit its stride. I�m talking about undefeated Vanderbilt, of course, who just won at Tennessee.

Prediction: Kentucky 75, Vanderbilt 68

Harvard at Cornell
Saturday 6

ESPN should pick this game up, because it�s the Game of the Year in the Ivy League. It�s a game featuring two of the league�s top players, Ryan Wittman of Cornell and Jeremy Lin of Harvard. But more importantly, it�s a game that may determine the regular season champion, and thus the NCAA Tournament invitee�because remember, there�s no conference tournament.

Prediction: Cornell 65, Harvard 63

Last week�s prediction record: 9-4
Overall prediction record: 94-54
