Today's Games: 12/1/2008

With the calendar flipping over to December, we've got enough games in the database to start drawing some inferences about teams. Sure, there are still going to be some quirky conclusions as TAPE learns about where teams stand relative to one another, and one team (Alabama A&M) still hasn't played a game against a Division I opponent, but overall the computer knows enough to start making some educated guesses.

From now through the end of the season, I'll be putting up a post previewing the day's games. Included below each matchup will be the time and place the game will be played. The first column to the rightof the teams is the final score projected by TAPE (I'm planning a big post soon to explain what TAPE is and how it arrives at these numbers). The next number after that is the winning percentage of the favored team. Finally, for those games that have betting lines I've included those as well, with the over/under listed above the point spread.

Without further ado, here are today's games:
