As most of the nation looks forward to Saturday’s huge Michigan/Ohio State game, there are several good basketball games this week. The Clippers/Jazz game should be a good one, providing you can find it in your cable listings. The Spurs and Rockets also clash for first place in the Southwest division. College hoops is just getting started, and ESPN2 has a nice matchup between Texas and Michigan State. The Preseason NIT also starts this week.
