Picks for Best Games on Wednesday, November 21st
Today might be the best day of College Basketball all season as we will have the Championship game of the Maui Invitational, as well as other first-round games in the Preseason NIT and Battle 4 Atlantis, as well as another couple of Championship games. These are my predictions for each of tomorrows biggest games.
