Top 30 at Top 75

Group 1 for both the host and visitor (1/1)

No. 21 Maryland Terrapins (19-6, 10-4) at No. 8 Michigan Wolverines (22-3, 11-3), 12 p.m. (Fox)
No. 17 Iowa State Cyclones (18-6, 7-4) at No. 26 Kansas State Wildcats (19-5, 9-2), 4 p.m. (ESPN2)
No. 4 Tennessee Volunteers (23-1, 11-0) at No. 6 Kentucky Wildcats (20-4, 9-2), 8 p.m. (ESPN)
No. 27 Mississippi State Bulldogs (17-7, 5-6) at No. 67 Arkansas Razorbacks (14-10, 5-6), 8:30 p.m. (SECN)

Obviously, the game of the day is in Lexington, where Tennessee will look to hand Kentucky a second straight loss, while recording its 20th straight win. A Volunteer win would also establish LSU as their most likely challenger for the SEC title. They’ll meet next Saturday in Baton Rouge—the pair’s lone meeting of the year.

Elsewhere, Maryland will travel to Ann Arbor looking to knock Michigan out of the three-team group at the top of the Big Ten, while Kansas State can take another big step toward dethroning Kansas in the Big 12 by completing a season sweep of Iowa State. As for the other Group 1 game in the SEC, Arkansas could certainly use a home win over Miss. State in its quest to build a more competitive bubble profile.

31-75 at Top 75

Group 1 for the visitor only; Group 2 for the host (1/2)

No. 42 Clemson Tigers (15-9, 5-6) at No. 16 Louisville Cardinals (17-8, 8-4), 12 p.m. (ESPN)
No. 41 Oklahoma Sooners (15-10, 3-9) at No. 34 TCU Horned Frogs (17-7, 5-6), 12 p.m. (ESPN2)
No. 33 Baylor Bears (16-8, 7-4) at No. 10 Texas Tech Red Raiders (20-5, 8-4), 2 p.m. (ESPN)
No. 40 Florida Gators (13-11, 5-6) at No. 45 Alabama Crimson Tide (15-9, 6-5), 2 p.m. (ESPNU)
No. 51 Indiana Hoosiers (13-11, 4-9) at No. 58 Minnesota Golden Gophers (16-9, 6-8), 2 p.m. (ESPN2)
No. 70 Penn State Nittany Lions (9-15, 2-11) at No. 11 Purdue Boilermakers (17-7, 10-3), 4 p.m. (BTN)
No. 31 N.C. State Wolfpack (18-7, 6-6) at No. 2 Duke Blue Devils (22-2, 10-1), 6 p.m. (ESPN)
No. 53 UNCG Spartans (22-4, 11-2) at No. 29 Wofford Terriers (22-4, 14-0), 7 p.m. (Select Nexstar stations/ESPN+ ($))
No. 63 Memphis Tigers (15-10, 7-5) at No. 39 UCF Knights (18-5, 8-3), 6 p.m. (ESPN2)
No. 72 Northwestern Wildcats (12-12, 3-10) at No. 38 Nebraska Cornhuskers (14-11, 3-10), 8:30 p.m. (BTN)

This is a true variety pack of 1/2 matchups with the Oklahoma-Texas Tech, Florida-Bama and Indiana-Minnesota bubble showdowns jumping out at me as particularly interesting. The SoCon matchup in Spartanburg also has bubble implications, particularly with Wofford still perfect in conference play and UNCG needing a win desperately after dropping the first game of the road trip—at Furman on Thursday.

In the American, Memphis can complete a surprise sweep of UCF, a result that would seriously dent the Knights’ hopes, while Nebraska will hope to build upon Wednesday’s win over Minnesota when Northwestern visits. As for Clemson and N.C. State, both have huge opportunities today in very hostile environments.

31-75 at 76-135

Group 2 for both the host and the visitor (2/2)

No. 43 VCU Rams (18-6, 9-2) at No. 81 Dayton Flyers (16-8, 8-3), 4 p.m. (NBCSN)
No. 56 Temple Owls (18-7, 8-4) at No. 76 South Florida Bulls (17-7, 7-5), 6 p.m. (ESPNU)
No. 75 Arizona State Sun Devils (16-8, 7-5) at No. 93 Utah Utes (14-10, 8-4), 10 p.m. (FS1)
No. 68 Oregon Ducks (15-9, 6-5) at No. 90 Oregon State Beavers (15-8, 7-4), 10:30 p.m. (Pac-12 Networks)

Of these eight teams, only ASU and VCU are currently in the projected field. While the Rams could stick around with a loss at UD Arena, a Rocky Mountain shutout would likely push the Sun Devils out. Temple-USF isn’t quite an elimination game, but both teams could use it. Meanwhile, OSU can sweep UO by defeating the Ducks in Corvallis. That would be an issue for an Oregon squad that’s just getting back into the bid hunt.

Top 30 at 76-135

Group 2 for the visitor; Group 1 for the host only (2/1)

No. 24 Auburn Tigers (16-8, 5-6) at No. 127 Vanderbilt Commodores (9-15, 0-11), 12 p.m. (ESPNU)
No. 25 Florida State Seminoles (19-5, 7-4) at No. 118 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (11-14, 3-9), 2 p.m. (Raycom (Regional)/TheACC.com/ACC Network Extra)
No. 13 Virginia Tech Hokies (19-4, 8-4) at No. 102 Pittsburgh Panthers (12-13, 2-10), 4:30 p.m. (ACC RSNs/ACC Network Extra)
No. 14 LSU Tigers (20-4, 10-1) at No. 128 Georgia Bulldogs (10-14, 1-10), 6 p.m. (SECN)
No. 28 Iowa Hawkeyes (19-5, 8-5) at No. 112 Rutgers Scarlet Knights (12-12, 5-9), 6 p.m. (FS1)
No. 1 Gonzaga Bulldogs (24-2, 11-0) at No. 101 San Diego Toreros (16-10, 5-6), 10 p.m. (ESPN)

Gonzaga and LSU have the most to lose from this group. In the Bulldogs’ case, its their position on the top line; for the Tigers, its a possible share of first in the SEC if Tennessee falls in Lexington.

76-160 at Top 75

Group 1 for the visitor only; Group 3 for the host (1/3)

No. 87 Oklahoma State Cowboys (9-15, 2-9) at No. 35 Texas Longhorns (14-11, 6-6), 1 p.m. (CBS)
No. 105 Xavier Musketeers (12-13, 4-8) at No. 74 Providence Friars (14-11, 408), 2 p.m. (Fox)
No. 95 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (13-11, 3-8) at No. 3 Virginia Cavaliers (21-2, 9-2), 2 p.m. (Raycom (Regional)/TheACC.com/ACC Network Extra)
No. 115 West Virginia Mountaineers (10-14, 2-9) at No. 18 Kansas Jayhawks (19-6, 8-4), 4 p.m. (ESPN)
No. 89 Missouri Tigers (12-11, 3-8) at No. 32 Mississippi Rebels (17-7, 7-4), 3:30 p.m. (SECN)
No. 92 DePaul Blue Demons (13-10, 5-7) at No. 54 Butler Bulldogs (14-11, 5-7), 8 p.m. (FS1)

Texas and Kansas will have revenge on their minds, as Oklahoma State and West Virginia, respectively, dealt them bad losses earlier in Big 12 play.

31-75 at 136-240

Group 3 for the visitor; Group 2 for the host only (3/2)

No. 62 Yale Bulldogs (16-4, 6-1) at No. 200 Cornell Big Red (13-10, 5-2), 7 p.m. (ESPN+ ($))

The Bulldogs took down Columbia on Friday night, 70-64, to stay at the top of the Ivy race. Tonight, they take on a surprising Cornell squad, which is currently tied with Harvard for second. The Big Red needed OT to top Brown yesterday, 70-66.

76-160 at 76-135

Group 2 for the visitor only; Group 3 for the host (2/3)

No. 83 Texas A&M Aggies (10-13, 3-8) at No. 94 South Carolina Gamecocks (12-12, 7-4), 1 p.m. (SECN)
No. 143 Harvard Crimson (12-8, 5-2) at No. 91 Penn Quakers (15-8, 3-4), 7 p.m. (NBCS Philadelphia & Washington/ESPN+ ($))
No. 104 UCLA Bruins (13-12, 6-6) at No. 107 Stanford Cardinal (13-11, 6-6), 10 p.m. (ESPN2)

The most important game out of this group is the Ivy matchup, with the defending league champs, currently in fifth and out of Ivy Tournament position, really needing a win over Harvard for their postseason hopes. While Harvard beat Princeton by nine on Friday, Penn needed OT to dispose of sixth-place Dartmouth.

76-160 at 136-240

Group 3 for both the host and visitor (3/3)

No. 85 BYU Cougars (17-10, 9-3) at No. 146 Loyola Marymount Lions (17-9, 5-7), 4 p.m. (Spectrum Sportsnet/Root Sports/NBCS Bay Area/TheW.tv)
No. 78 Fresno State Bulldogs (18-6, 9-3) at No. 170 New Mexico Lobos (11-13, 5-7), 7 p.m. (ESPN3)

Road wins would help both BYU and Fresno State in terms of conference tournament seeding. The Cougars, in particular, need to keep winning as the No. 2 seed in the WCC would allow them to avoid a meeting with Gonzaga until the final, thanks to the conference’s new ladder-style tournament format.

Top 30 at 136-240

Group 3 for the visitor; Group 1 for the host only (3/1)

No. 9 North Carolina Tar Heels (19-5, 9-2) at No. 197 Wake Forest Demon Deacons (9-14, 2-9), 12 p.m. (Raycom/TheACC.com/ACC Network Extra)
No. 30 Washington Huskies (19-5, 10-1) at No. 179 Washington State Cougars (10-14, 3-8), 8 p.m. (ESPNU)

While UNC and UW should win relatively handily on the road, the Huskies need to be wary, as Wazzu knocked off the Arizona schools on the road last week.

Top 30 at 241-353

Group 4 for the visitor; Group 1 for the host only (4/1)

No. 12 Nevada Wolf Pack (23-1, 10-1) at No. 311 Wyoming Cowboys (6-18, 2-9), 10 p.m. (ESPNU)

The Wolf Pack have to be happy they only play Wyoming and San José State once each in Mountain West play, as both are solidly in D1’s bottom 50.

31-75 at 241-353

Group 4 for the visitor; Group 2 for the host only (4/2)

No. 37 Lipscomb Bisons (20-5, 11-1) at No. 340 Kennesaw State Fighting Owls (5-21, 2-9), 4:30 p.m. (ESPN+ ($))
No. 55 Liberty Flames (22-5, 11-1) at No. 316 North Alabama Lions (8-18, 5-6), 4:30 p.m. (ESPN+ ($))
No. 36 Utah State Aggies (19-6, 9-3) at No. 251 Air Force Falcons (10-14, 5-7), 4 p.m. (MWN)
No. 48 Hofstra Pride (22-4, 12-1) at No. 266 UNCW Seahawks (8-19, 4-10), 7 p.m. (CAA.tv)
No. 65 Murray State Racers (20-4, 11-2) at No. 261 Eastern Kentucky Colonels (11-15, 4-9), 7 p.m. (ESPN+ ($))
No. 64 Belmont Bruins (20-4, 11-2) at No. 332 Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles (7-19, 3-10), 8:30 p.m. (ESPN+ ($))
No. 52 San Francisco Dons (19-6, 7-4) at No. 328 Portland Pilots (7-19, 0-11), 10 p.m. (NBCS California Plus/AT&T SN Rocky Mtn./Root Sports/TheW.tv)

Several mid-major contenders with varying at-large hopes will all attempt to avoid the dreaded late bad loss tonight.

76-160 at 241-353

Group 4 for the visitor; Group 3 for the host only (4/3)

No. 96 USC Trojans (13-12, 6-6) at No. 264 California Golden Bears (5-19, 0-12), 8 p.m. (Pac-12 Networks)

Don’t bother.

161-353 at 241-353

Group 4 for both the host and visitor (4/4)

No. 169 Sam Houston State Bearkats (17-8, 12-0) at No. 230 Lamar Cardinals (13-12, 6-6), 5:30 p.m. (ESPN3)
No. 273 Robert Morris Colonials (13-13, 8-5) at No. 255 St. Francis (Pa.) Red Flash (13-11, 9-4), 7 p.m. (NEC Front Row)

By the rankings, these games look terrible, but SHSU is one of four teams that can still record a perfect conference record, while St. Francis can get closer to the top seed in the NEC Tournament, and the home-court advantage that goes along with it, by sweeping local rival RMU.

161-353 at 76-135

Group 2 for the visitor only; Group 4 for the host (2/4)

No. 258 Charlotte 49ers (6-18, 3-10) at No. 86 Old Dominion Monarchs (20-6, 10-3), 2 p.m. (ESPN+ ($))
No. 186 Mercer Bears (9-16, 4-9) at No. 71 ETSU Buccaneers (20-7, 10-4), 4 p.m. (ESPN3)
No. 161 UC Santa Barbara Gauchos (17-7, 6-4) at No. 106 UC Irvine Anteaters (21-5, 9-1), 12 a.m. (ESPN2)

ODU heads into the final set game of the C-USA schedule with a game lead in the conference race, while ETSU’s SoCon hopes will evaporate with a loss or Wofford win today. In the Big West, UCSB has gone 2-2 since losing in OT to UCI back on January 31st. If the Anteaters complete the sweep tonight, they’ll move just a bit closer to the Big West regular season title.

161-353 at Top 75

Group 1 for the visitor only; Group 4 for the host (1/4)

No. 190 Seattle Redhawks (13-11, 1-8) at No. 60 New Mexico State Aggies (21-4, 10-1), 9 p.m. (AggieVision/Eleven Sports)
No. 171 Pepperdine Waves (12-14, 5-7) at No. 47 Saint Mary’s Gaels (16-10, 7-4), 11 p.m. (NBCS Bay Area/Spectrum Sportsnet/TheW.tv)

New Mexico State will look to turn its current win streak up to 11, while Saint Mary’s must keep winning to have any hope of catching BYU for the No. 2 seed in the WCC.
