XFINITY’s #5ToFollow - Wednesday, November 6

1. Chicago Bulls vs. Indiana Pacers

Details: Wednesday, November 6 @ 7:00 PM ET – Bankers Life Fieldhouse – Indianapolis, IN

Watch Here: ESPN on XFINITY

Why Watch: Derrick Rose is still looking for that breakthrough game, that SportsCenter comeback moment, will it come in Indianapolis Wednesday night? The Bulls are coming off a four-day break and will bring fresh legs to the Pacers’ floor. Indiana has been winning games with their suffocating defense, ranked first in points allowed (83.7 ppg). Look for Roy Hibbert to host a block party (4.7 bpg) on ESPN, and Rose to look the best he has all season when the Bulls and Pacers tipoff Wednesday night.

2. Mississippi vs. Mississippi State

Details: Wednesday, November 6 @ 8:00 PM ET – Newell-Grissom Building – Starkville, MS

Watch Here: ESPNU on XFINITY

Why Watch: The SEC West’s rivalry between the Ole Miss Rebels and the Mississippi State Bulldogs takes the volleyball court Wednesday night on ESPNU. The Bulldogs are back home after a two-week road trip and will bring their A-game against the rival Rebels. The Dogs’ freshmen outside hitter, Kimmy Gardiner, leads the team in kills (346) and will look to add to her kill count against a tough Rebel team. The Rebs sophomore standout, Nakeyta Clair, is a middle blocker who is dominant at the net. Clair’s 100 blocks is a team high and she’ll look to deny the Dogs a victory. It’s #HottyToddy vs. #HailState on ESPNU Wednesday night!

3. Los Angeles Clippers vs. Miami Heat

Details: Thursday, November 7 @ 7:00 PM ET – AmericanAirlines Arena – Miami, FL

Watch Here: TNT Overtime with XFINITY

Why Watch: I know it’s early, but LeBron James vs. Chris Paul is looking like an MVP deciding matchup already. These two are playing unbelievable basketball right now and will go head-to-head Thursday night in Miami. Paul has his LOB CITY Clippers rolling as the team is averaging 119 ppg, while the point guard is dishing out 12 ast – both league leading stats! When the going gets tough, LeBron “King” James gets better, and this game is his biggest test of the year. Thursday night we will see if this Clippers squad can handle the Heat in South Beach.

4. Oregon Ducks vs. Stanford Cardinal

Details: Thursday, November 7 @ 9:00 PM ET – Stanford Stadium – Stanford, CA

Watch Here: ESPN on XFINITY

Why Watch: This Thursday night, it doesn’t get bigger than Oregon vs. Stanford- make sure you’re watching or streaming! As reported over 50 NFL scouts will be in attendance as this game features more than a dozen NFL prospects. It’s Oregon’s national title hopes versus Stanford’s chances of a BCS bowl bid. It’s Marcus Mariota’s Heisman campaign against the toughest defense he will see in the regular season. This is the game of Week 11, No. 2 Oregon vs. No. 5 Stanford. It’s kicking off this Thursday night – WATCH IT!

5. Real Salt Lake vs. LA Galaxy

Details: Thursday, November 7 @ 9:00 PM ET – Rio Tinto Stadium – Sandy, UT

Watch Here: ESPN2 on XFINITY

Why Watch: The wild, wild west of the MLS meet in the #MLSPlayoffs as Real Salt Lake host the two-time defending MLS Cup Champions, LA Galaxy. This Western Conference semifinal match will be a stellar match between two clubs who split their regular season meetings (2-2). The telling stat of that split, the road team has been on the losing end in every game. Will Donovan and Keane lead the Galaxy to their first win in Utah in their biggest match, or will Nick Rimando and Real Salt Lake continue the trend of home team winners Thursday night?
