The Game Changer: Week 9

(Photo: Rick Osentaski /USA Today Sports)

Bringing back a popular feature: your tv channel guide for Saturday’s action. Games are listed in the following groups:
Game Changers – Games that demand your immediate attention. The first listed should be your primary game, and the second is a good choice for your remote’s ‘recall’ button.
Be Aware Of – Games that are relevant, deserve a check-in now and then, and are worth checking out when the preferred Game Changers are over or non-competitive.
If Things Get Crazy – Games that aren’t important and only deserve your attention if things get crazy, like 3rd overtimes or 56-54 shootouts. It’s helpful to have the Thuuz app (for ios/android) on hand to let you know about games like this. It’ll alert you at key moments of when & where to flip over to.
