If you view the NCAA Tournament as nothing more than a disorganized mess of third-rate basketball that only matters for its NBA Draft implications, we've got you covered.

There will be a handful of must-watch games between teams loaded with NBA talent over the next few days.

Just keep an eye on Kentucky, UConn, UNC, and Baylor, and you'll be fine.

Vanderbilt vs. Harvard (today at 4:40 p.m.)

The Nerd Bowl actually has some legit NBA prospects.

Vanderbilt has a trio of players — John Jenkins, Festes Ezeli, and Jeff Taylor — who are NBA guys. None are projected lottery picks, but they'll probably get drafted and could be playing in the league next year.

They'll go up against Harvard's Keith Wright and Kyle Casey — who have NBA size and strength inside.



UConn v. Iowa State (tonight at 9:20 p.m.)

UConn is loaded. Andre Drummond is a top-five pick. Jeremy Lamb is a lottery pick. And Ryan Boatright, Alex Oriakhi, and Roscoe Smith are all the type of players that can make it in the league someday.

They'll be up against Iowa State junior prospect Royce White, who's averaging 13 points, 9 rebounds, and 5 assists this season.



UNLV vs. Colorado (tonight at 9:57 p.m.)

UNLV forward Mike Moser was a relative unknown after transferring to Vegas from UCLA two years ago. But since breaking onto the stage against UNC last fall, he's shot up the draft boards.

Colorado's Andre Robinson probably won't declare for the draft until 2013 or 2014. But he averages a double double and could give Vegas problems.
