The Wildcats will look to keep moving up the rankings and solidify their position as a top seed in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament with another win....
The Maryland Terrapins finally got the big win they were looking for two nights ago. Maryland has been on the outside looking in at the Top 25 rankings, despite a 15-2 record, because of its weak non-conference slate.

The last time Wake Forest emerged victorious on the road in conference play was all the way back on January 22, 2014 when it knocked off Virginia Tech. The Demon Deacons’ inability to win on the road has underscored this program’s inability to get back to the postseason or even crack the .500 mark.

But the Grizzlies are poised for a run this year with perhaps the strongest team assembled in some time. They own the league’s best record, but need to knock off the defending champs to prove they have arrived....
