Who Toronto Raptors Fans Should Be Clawing for this Weekend

March 19, 2009

by Mark Milner… With the Raptors bottoming out and a nice stretch of games on TSN2, there isn’t a lot of pro ball that Toronto fans can really find interesting.

But there’s still a ton of great college ball to watch, as March Madness kicks off on Thursday.

The “Madness” will feature a ton of prospects that could end up being drafted by the Raptors later on this year, and more that could wind up here through other routes (the D-league, training camp invites, etc.).

But randomly watching whatever marquee game is on The Score might not help you get a look at some of these guys. It’s likely the broadcasts will focus on players who will go before the Raptors can pick, such as Blake Griffin from Oklahoma or James Harden from Arizona State.

But if you sign up on the NCAA’s website, you can select what games to watch on your computer.

In the meantime, here’s a handy guide for a few games that may not be exciting, but will feature players you might be interested in.
