Tonight's games? Lookie here— Super Fun Facts about 'em all.

Tomorrow, here's our quick take: at 2pm ET, West Virginia could sink Duke (our Dookie boss hates us right now, but that's fine, because it's Friday) after the shoddy effort the Devils put forth against Belmont; Kansas State vs. Wisconsin (4:20pm ET) is a nice battle of flashy and one-dimensional vs. multi-tasked and boring; Purdue vs. Xavier (4:40pm ET) could be the best game of the entire day; Notre Dame vs. Washington State (6:40pm ET) is gonna also contend for that title; Marquette vs. Stanford (6:45pm ET) seems to us like an utter rout after the respective performances of both teams in the first round; speaking of routs, Kansas should truck UNLV (6:50pm ET); Michigan State and Pittsburgh (9:10pm ET) is a sweet battle of a coach potentially on the downswing from glory (Izzo) and one very much on the upswing towards it (Dixon), and UCLA will try to beat Texas A&M by a mere 35 points or so at 9:15pm ET.

Sunday's games? As of right now, unclear; you can always check here for more information.

The pro sports world doesn't stand still for the Dance, though; the NBA has some choice offerings. Houston and Phoenix do battle (10pm ET, Saturday). What's the deal with the Rockets? America's darlings to America's doormat that quickly? If they lose to the Suns, they'll be completely under the collective Western Conference bus. Want some entertainment Sunday night? How about Warriors vs. Lakers (9:30pm ET) in a rumble of the league's best player (Kobe), the league's best word association dude ( Stephen Jackson ), and the league's best movie critic ( Baron ). Plus, there's always the mock turtleneck .

Hockey: it's cold, but it's super-entertaining. Tonight you've got Flyers vs. Rangers (7pm ET), which is always a blast, because everyone in one city thinks they're better than everyone in the other city, and we like regional animosity as a cultural force. [Ed.'s note: Except when it leads to war. We're against that.] Seriously, you ever been to an Eagles/Giants game? It kinda looks like this .

Elsewhere in society, you may be in a fantasy MLB Draft this weekend, so check out this interview with one of the founders of the concept (we hear he likes Hanley over A-Rod). Perez Hilton (Sunday) and Wolf Blitzer (Saturday) both have birthdays this weekend, which is pretty much as sharp a distinction as you can draw between two journalistic figures (we like to think of ourselves somewhere in the middle).

And hey, because we can't get enough of this dude: Inch kicking it freestyle for the NCAA Tournament . See ya on Monday: updates to the Semi-Famous Office Pool (can Doogie keep it going?), more Giant Killers, baseball coverage ramps up, and oodles and oodles of fun.
