Old School Meets New School
It’s been a tough season for the Oregon Ducks. Although this team was supposed to take a step back after last year’s Final Four appearance, Dana Altman didn’t think his team would struggle this much....
The Kentucky Wildcats’ youth has been apparent this season, as they have been up and down for much of the year. They have put together some nice displays lately and aim to keep it rolling in an SEC game this week against the Missouri Tigers....
The Michigan Wolverines have played really well at home this year so they should come into this weekend’s home matchup against the Minnesota Golden Gophers with a lot of confidence. The Wolverines are 15-2 at the Crisler Center and have a 7-4 record against Big Ten opponents....
Although the Atlantic 10 might be having a down year by the conference’s lofty standards, two teams have emerged as frontrunners and potential bracket busters come March.One of them needs no introduction. The VCU Rams are becoming a name brand nationwide after almost a decade of continued success as a mid-major. VCU has not gotten the marquee win it needs yet this season, but it hung close with Virginia and Texas....
It hasn’t been a great year for the St. John’s Red Storm. St. John’s is at the bottom of the standings in the Big East and has been unable to get it going all year long. At 10-13, the Red Storm know that they need to win the conference tournament to make it to the Big Dance....
Two of the ACC’s mid-tier teams will square off on Saturday afternoon with the winner moving to above .500 in conference play....
The Kansas Jayhawks are looking to continue their incredible streak of Big 12 regular season titles going. About a month ago, things looked dicey for the Jayhawks. They were struggling to beat conference foes, and even lost at home, a rarity. However, they have since righted the ship are atop the conference with a little more than a month left in the regular season. They will look to keep it that way this weekend when they play host to the Oklahoma State Cowboys....
The Wichita State Shockers are lurking near the top of the American Conference standings, hoping a strong finish can help them surpass Cincinnati for the regular season title. Wichita State has shaken off a recent lull with two straight wins and will aim for a third when it hits the road to face off against the Temple Owls....
The Missouri Tigers are fighting for their NCAA men’s basketball tournament lives, and a recent three-game skid has put an appearance there in peril. They are hoping to pick up a critical win next time out, but it won’t be easy as Missouri hits the road to face off against the Alabama Crimson Tide....
The Virginia Cavaliers picked up a huge road win last time out against Duke and can put a stranglehold on first place in the ACC with a win over the Louisville Cardinals next time out. Virginia is ranked No. 2 in the country and looking every bit a national title contender after knocking off the vaunted Blue Devils last time out....
It’s been an awful year for the Vanderbilt Commodores. Bryce Drew’s second year in Nashville has not gone as planned. It would take a miracle for this team to make the NCAA Tournament at this point, with the ‘Dores sitting at 8-13 overall. They have yet to win a home game this season and have a tall task ahead of them on Tuesday night....
Both the Baylor Bears and the Oklahoma Sooners had a tough time on the road in the Big 12/SEC Challenge on Saturday. Each team went on the road to face an SEC foe and ended up having one of their worst offensive performances of the season....
The Ohio State Buckeyes suffered their first loss in Big Ten play and have fallen a game behind Purdue in the conference standings. In order to have a shot at the regular season title they can’t afford many slip-ups the rest of the way. The Buckeyes will host the Indiana Hoosiers this week in a game they should be able to win rather easily....
The North Carolina Tar Heels and Clemson Tigers are both ranked nationally but have each hit a skid lately. They are both trying to firm up one of the top seeds in March Madness, so better play down the stretch is paramount....

The Purdue Boilermakers will look to stay undefeated in conference play when they hit the road to face off against the Indiana Hoosiers. Purdue has been one of the dominant teams in the country this season and are heavy favorites to take care of business in this one despite playing on the road....
Even though the Big 12 is the toughest it has been in years, the Kansas Jayhawks have still found a way to be on top of the conference. Kansas is 6-2 in Big 12 play, but it hasn’t been easy. The Jayhawks have had to work for every win, failing to beat any conference opponent by more than six points. Kansas’ struggles have been enough to worry its fans, who are even offering to help the team practice their free throws. If the Jayhawks fall to the Kansas State Wildcats, they will be tied with a lot of conference foes at 6-3 in Big 12 play....
The Duke Blue Devils need to keep winning if they want to have a shot at winning the ACC regular season title. Duke is two games behind Virginia in the race to win the ACC and has a pivotal tilt against the Cavaliers on Saturday. Assuming Duke can pick up that win, it needs to keep up the pressure by taking care of the other ACC teams on its schedule....
The Villanova Wildcats have easily been the best team in the country so far this season. Villanova is 19-1 with some impressive wins on its resume, and its only loss came on the road to a good Butler team. If you exclude the loss, no team has come within six points of Nova all year long. One of their Big East rivals will look to change that when the Marquette Golden Eagles get their second crack at the Wildcats on Sunday afternoon....
The Arizona Wildcats have looked like the best team in the PAC 12 so far this season. Although this team had some struggles in non-conference play, the Wildcats have been able to take care of business against all but one of their opponents....
The Oklahoma Sooners are looking to solve their road woes against the Alabama Crimson Tide this weekend. Oklahoma has not been a good road team this season, losing each of its last three road games. Losing to West Virginia was expected, but the Sooners were short favorites against both Kansas State and Oklahoma State, and losing to those two teams hurt. Alabama has defended its home court well this season, posting a 9-1 record at home, and will be a tough test for the Sooners....
The Virginia Cavaliers and Duke Blue Devils are both in the top-five nationally and among the best teams in the ACC. They are both in the hunt for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament and will face off in a critical clash this week....
The Texas Longhorns are hoping a strong finish to the season can get them in the conversation for an NCAA men’s tournament berth. They have a golden chance to add another victory to the docket when the Longhorns host the Ole Miss Rebels this weekend....
A two-game losing streak has dropped the Wichita State Shockers from the top-10 nationally. It is looking like only a speed bump, not a true worry, as the team should be able to bounce back next time out when it hosts the Central Florida Knights....
The Purdue Boilermakers have played some dominant basketball this season, and are expected to continue on that path next time out when they host the Michigan Wolverines. Even though Michigan is well over .500 in Big Ten play and nationally ranked, Purdue has been such a great team this season that it would be a big upset if the Wolverines pulled out the win....
