Old School Meets New School
The UCLA Bruins rolled through the non-conference season and have ascended to the No. 2 ranking in the country. They hope that dominance will extend to the Pac-12 slate, although it’s a tough start as the Bruins travel to face the Oregon Ducks....
The Houston Cougars have put together a nice start to their non-conference season but are lacking a signature win. They would love to pick it up as the Cougars travel to face off against the Connecticut Huskies in a post-Christmas matchup....
The Connecticut Huskies have long been one of the better college basketball programs in the country, but is struggling to a slow start in non-conference play. The margin for error is razor thin as they try to bounce back and make an NCAA Tournament push, so a win against the Auburn Tigers is essential....
The Harvard Crimson got off to a slow start but have really picked it up in the latter half of the non-conference slate. They will aim to push their winning streak to four games but it won’t be easy as they hit the road for a clash with the Houston Cougars....
The San Diego State Aztecs are in the middle of a poor stretch, but should take advantage of a get-well game next time out. San Diego State will face off against the Southern Miss Golden Eagles on national television....
After a flawless start in their first six games, the Ohio State Buckeyes have faltered of late as the schedule has toughened. However, the final game of the non-conference slate will feature a matchup Ohio State should be able to easily take care of business in when it hosts the UNC Asheville Bulldogs....
The Kansas Jayhawks will look to put a bow on an impressive non-conference season in a road matchup against the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels. While UNLV has periodically been a strong program, this year isn’t one of those times. The Rebels have struggled and will be the home underdogs....
A hot start has the Maryland Terrapins on the cusp of the national rankings, and another undefeated week could be enough to get them there. Maryland needs to take care of business against the Charlotte 49ers and they will certainly be favored to win easily....
The Creighton Blue Jays have not had any trouble facing off against high-major opponents this season and will aim to knock off another one on the road in non-conference play. Creighton should be the favorite when it travels to play the Arizona State Sun Devils....
The North Carolina Tar Heels have lost two of their past five games but both have come to teams nationally ranked. Their next game will be against the Northern Iowa Panthers so North Carolina should have no problem bouncing back....
The California Bears have a nice record early on but will face the biggest test of their non-conference schedule when they face off against the Virginia Cavaliers. Virginia is nationally ranked and even despite playing this one on the road, it will likely be the favorite....
The Kentucky Wildcats are riding high after a recent win over fellow college basketball power North Carolina, but has no time to celebrate. Next up for Kentucky is another big-time matchup against the Louisville Cardinals in a rivalry showdown....
The Duke Blue Devils will define their season in ACC play, but in order to get there will have to take care of business on one more game out of conference. Duke will travel to play the Elon Phoenix in a game in which the Blue Devils should have no trouble rolling to victory....
The Stanford Cardinal might not be the same team that was getting to the NCAA Tournament consistently last decade, but have had some promising results thus far this season. Stanford has already knocked off one tournament team from last year in Seton Hall and now will get another chance to add a notch to its resume when the Cardinal face the SMU Mustangs. SMU is looking to get to the tournament for just the second time this century and is off to a good start....
There aren’t many teams better than the Duke Blue Devils. Duke has been fantastic this season, despite an early loss to Kansas, and looks more talented than any team in the country. The Blue Devils have knocked off some of the teams considered to be among the best in the nation and are more than ready for the rigors of ACC play. Coach K’s squad will face a team they have never face before on Monday night in their second-to-last game before conference play, when they take on the Tennessee State T...
It’s been a perfect start to the season for the Gonzaga Bulldogs. Gonzaga is riding high at 10-0 heading into its last game against a marquee non-conference foe in the Tennessee Volunteers. The Bulldogs have already defeated five teams from power conferences this season, but facing Tennessee in its home state could be a tricky test. If Gonzaga can win this one, the Bulldogs have a shot to run the table and that would set them up with a No. 1 seed come tournament time.At 4 p.m. ET, tune into ESPN2 for live television coverage of this NCAA basketball game on Sunday, December 18, 2016, at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. We will have NCAA basketball odds at BookMaker.eu available for this and every game on the college basketball Sunday schedule....
It’s been a struggle for the Oregon Ducks this season. Oregon came into this year with high hopes and a Top 5 ranking, but this side has been unable to live up to its billing. Many believed that Dillon Brooks’ return to the lineup would spark this team, but the Ducks haven’t looked like the same team we saw last season. Instead, Oregon is struggling to defeat lesser tier foes and there are legitimate concerns about how the Ducks will perform in PAC-12 play. The Ducks have just two more games before they find out and the first of the two will be against the UNLV Rebels.At 11 p.m. ET, tune into ESPN2 for live television coverage of this NCAA basketball game on Saturday, December 17, 2016, at the Moda Center at the Rose Quarter in Portland. We will have NCAA basketball odds at BookMaker.eu available for this and every game on the college basketball Saturday schedule....
The Davidson Wildcats have had plenty of time to prepare for the Kansas Jayhawks. It will have been 10 days since Davidson suited up when these teams meet on Saturday and there might be a little rust. Kansas has had a week off to prepare for Davidson and you can be sure that Bill Self has reminded his side that the last time these teams met, the Wildcats came out with a win. A Davidson win here would be huge for its chances to make the tournament if it doesn’t win the Atlantic-10....
There’s no doubt that the North Carolina Tar Heels and the Kentucky Wildcats are two of the best teams in the country. These teams are ranked 6 and 7 in both the Coaches and AP poll and have played great basketball through the early season slate. Both enter this game with just one loss and a win for either side would be its biggest victory thus far. Will North Carolina’s veterans carry the day? Or will it be Kentucky’s young freshmen?...
Life after Buddy Hield has been hard for the Oklahoma Sooners. Oklahoma has not had the same bite it had with Hield on the court last season and this team has limped through its non-conference schedule. The Sooners have lost to every potential tournament team they have faced and their best win on the season is against a Clemson team that hasn’t defeated anyone of note. However, as much as they have struggled, they aren’t in the same position as their opponent on Saturday afternoon, the Memphis T...
It’s been an amazing start to the season for the No. 2 UCLA Bruins. UCLA looks every bit the contender with freshmen sensations Lonzo Ball and TJ Leaf and are getting the right amount of support from veterans like Isaac Hamilton and Bryce Alford as well. They have now knocked off two high profile teams in a row in Kentucky and Michigan and will look to run their record to 12-0 on Saturday afternoon when they head to Sin City to face the Ohio State Buckeyes....
The Notre Dame Fighting Irish showed that their 9-0 start to the season wasn’t just the result of a weak out-of-conference slate. Notre Dame gave Villanova all it could handle last Saturday and although the Irish didn’t cover, were in the lead much of the way. This weekend they will get the opportunity to face another team that could go a long way in March Madness when they take on their in-state rival, the Purdue Boilermakers....
Sean Miller’s Arizona Wildcats have a few more games left before they begin PAC-12 play and a couple more big opponents left on their schedule. That will give them a few more chances to patch together an impressive non-conference resume and potentially boost the perceived strength of the PAC-12. One of those chances will come on Saturday afternoon when Arizona heads west to take on the Texas A&M Aggies of the SEC....
Former Big East foes will square off on Saturday afternoon when the Syracuse Orange host the Georgetown Hoyas. Both of these perennial powers have had shaky starts to their seasons, but while the Orange are coming off of a Final Four appearance last season, the Hoyas didn’t even make the NCAA Tournament. Only Georgetown has a win of consequence so far this year, but four non-conference losses already means they are in more dire straits than Syracuse....
The Big 5 is saving the most prestigious match-up for last this season. The Villanova Wildcats have won 18 straight against their Philadelphia brethren and already defeated La Salle, St. Joseph’s, and Pennsylvania this season. However, the Temple Owls have also rung up a 3-0 record against those same schools and now these teams play with the city championship on the line. Villanova has won the last three Big 5 titles and with a win here would be just two behind Temple for the school with the mos...
