In the seventh annual ESPNU BracketBusters, the country's strongest mid-majors do battle in thirteen televised games. Although most of these games are played on ESPNU, a few get big-time exposure on ESPN and ESPN2, a rarity for these publicity starved teams. For some, it might be their only remaining shot to impress America, and have basketball fans keeping them in the back of their mind in March. Here's a complete rundown of the televised games.

Each week I pose a Question of the Week for you the reader to chew on (masticate if you prefer) and digest..

 

This Week's Question: Which BracketBusters team will actually bust brackets in March?

 

About the Bob Cousy Award:

Nominees for the Bob Cousy Award presented by The Hartford were solicited through all Division I, II and III institutions. A committee comprised of media members narrowed the field to 17 student athletes from all three divisions of men's NCAA college basketball. The group of 17 will be reviewed and a winner chosen by a Blue Ribbon selection committee comprised of Hall of Famers, Mr. Cousy, college coaches, media members, and a vote representing the top vote getter in the on-line poll at www.cousyaward.com.

BRISTOL, Conn. -- ESPNU will televise six BracketBusters games, while ESPN360.com, ESPN's customized broadband service, will offer one. ESPN2 will televise five contests and ESPN will have one game. ESPN360.com will also simulcast the ESPN and ESPN2 telecasts. The match-ups are highlighted by #11 Butler against Davidson, both undefeated in conference play, and #22 Utah State against Saint Mary's, a 2008 NCAA Tournament participant that has been among the nation's top 25 teams this season as recently as last week.
