The NFL Scouting Combine has been called the "Underwear Olympics" by some of the media and former NFL players. It's a good place to see potential starts that could be drafted in April.

Thursday, Feb. 28

College basketball (10 p.m.-12 a.m. ESPN 2): Try to stay up late or set your DVR to see the Gonzaga Bulldogs face the BYU Cougars because the Zaga's could make a deep run in March.

Friday, March 1

NBA (7-9:30 p.m. ESPN): The Memphis Grizzlies will try to get a win against LeBron James and the Miami Heat on the road.

Saturday, March 2

College basketball (4-6 p.m. Fox Sports Network): Mississippi State will be out to damage arch rival Ole Miss' NCAA Tournament hopes on their home turf—but its a long shot.

Sunday, March 3

NASCAR (2-6 p.m. Fox): Jimmie Johnson will try to follow up his Dayton win with another victory in the Subway Fresh 500 at Phoenix International Raceway.

Monday, March 4

NHL (6:30-10 p.m. NBC Sports Network): Our weekly hockey fix features two teams that could meet in the Stanley Cup Playoffs when the Pittsburgh Penguins host the Tampa Bay Lighting.

Tuesday, March 5

College basketball (8-10 p.m. ESPN U): Ole Miss plays a very good Alabama team at home and a win could punch the Rebels' ticket into The Big Dance.

Wednesday, March 6

College basketball (6-8 p.m. ESPN 2): Villanova hopes to keep their NCAA hopes alive with a big home win 
against Georgetown.

Danica Patrick didn't win the Daytona 500 last weekend, but she should be proud. She was the first woman to lead a lap at the Great American Race and her eighth-place finish is a female record.
