There is lots of big time action this weekend including a super, jam packed, stuffed to the rafters hardcourt playing by our Canadian ballers. Nicholson vs Varnardo and Sacre and the Zags vs Aminu and the Demon Deacons will highlight the weekend games but there is plenty more in store. Many of our boys will be taking on some very tough opponents starting Friday night so check out the only NCAA schedule that matters here in The Can Ball Report.
Remember that the games in bold are games that The Can Ball Report thinks you should make the extra effort to watch. Saturday will be a very busy day in NCAA hoops so there are many games highlighted meaning lots of major contributors playing against some big teams or in big early season games. Unless you have a wall of tvs or a really, really big computer monitor, we suggest you chose your game watching ahead of time to avoid disappointment. And remember to support Canadian ballers everywhere!

Vermont @ N.J.I.T. - a rejuvenated Maurice Joseph is worth watching.
