Top 30 at Top 75 (2 Games)

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

No. 7 Houston Cougars (28-2, 15-2) at No. 23 Cincinnati Bearcats (25-5, 14-3), 12 p.m. (CBS)
No. 15 Wisconsin Badgers (21-9, 13-6) at No. 52 Ohio State Buckeyes (18-12, 8-11), 4:30 p.m. (CBS)

Houston defeated Cincinnati 65-58 back on February 10th at the Fertitta Center. Today’s task will be a little taller, particularly with the Bearcats coming off a Thursday loss at UCF Knights. While the Cougars have already wrapped up a share of the American regular-season title and the top seed in Memphis, they’ll have to win today to keep the Bearcats from taking a share of the crown.

In Columbus, Ohio State could use a win for its shaky profile, which hasn’t been helped by the Buckeyes’ recent 2-5 run. As for the Badgers, a win would clinch the No. 4 seed in the Big Ten Tournament and the quarterfinal bye that goes along with it.

31-75 at Top 75 (1 Game)

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

No. 43 Iowa Hawkeyes (21-9, 10-9) at No. 53 Nebraska Cornhuskers (15-15, 5-14), 2 p.m. (BTN)

Iowa has seen its seeding slip thanks to a three-game skid. But it won’t be easy to break it in Lincoln, as struggling Nebraska is still difficult to defeat at home.

76-160 at Top 75 (6 Games)

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

No. 97 Rutgers Scarlet Knights (14-15, 7-12) at No. 55 Indiana Hoosiers (16-14, 7-12), 12 p.m. (BTN)

Even though a win over Rutgers wouldn’t impress the Committee much, a fourth straight victory for Indiana would give them some decent momentum heading into the Big Ten Tournament.

Big South Championship

No. 4 Gardner-Webb Bulldogs (22-11, 10-6) at No. 2 Radford Highlanders (22-10, 12-4), 1 p.m. (ESPN)

Mike Jones’ Highlanders are looking to reach their second straight NCAA Tournament, while Tim Craft’s Bulldogs are aiming for their first-ever bid. On Friday, Gardner-Webb stunned top-seeded Campbell Fighting Camels, 79-74, to give Radford the responsibility for hosting. Note that the second-seeded squad won the pair’s lone meeting of the season, 75-58, at home.

MVC Championship

No. 6 Northern Iowa Panthers (16-17, 9-9) vs. No. 5 Bradley Braves (19-14, 9-9), 2 p.m. (CBS)

Both of Saturday’s Arch Madness semifinals went down to the wire. First, Bradley eliminated the top-seeded defending champs from Loyola Chicago, 53-51. Then, UNI won its rubber match with second-seeded Drake, 60-58. Another series decider is on tap for this afternoon in St. Louis, as the Panthers and Braves split their meetings, with each road team being victorious.

Northern Iowa last reached the field of 68 in 2016, while Bradley last qualified in 2006, as a 13th-seeded at-large selection.

ASUN Championship

No. 2 Liberty Flames (27-6, 14-2) at No. 1 Lipscomb Bisons (25-6, 14-2), 3 p.m. (ESPN)

The game of the day might very well be set for Allen Arena in Nashville, where Lipscomb will attempt to do what archrival Belmont could not last night. But it won’t be easy for the Bisons, as Liberty won by a 74-66 score when the teams last met in the Music City back on February 13th. Casey Alexander’s team, meanwhile, won by 20 in Lynchburg.

Lipscomb is aiming for its second-ever bid, in as many seasons, while Liberty last reached the field in 2013, when the Flames represented the Big South.

Patriot Semifinals

CBSSN will air both games.

No. 5 Navy Midshipmen (12-18, 7-10) at No. 1 Colgate Raiders (22-10, 13-5), 12 p.m.
No. 3 Lehigh Mountain Hawks (20-10, 12-6) at No. 2 Bucknell Bison (20-11, 13-5), 2 p.m.

This afternoon’s winners meet on Wednesday in the higher-seeded team’s arena. Colgate split its season series with Navy, though the Raiders recorded a 93-71 home victory on February 23rd. As for Bucknell and Lehigh, the Bison swept the season series, last taking down the MountainHawks by 12 on February 11th.

SoCon Semifinals

ESPN+ ($) will stream both games. Select Nexstar-owned stations will air both games.

No. 4 ETSU Buccaneers (24-8, 13-5) vs. No. 1 Wofford Terriers (27-4, 18-0), 4 p.m.
No. 3 Furman Paladins (25-6, 13-5) vs. No. 2 UNCG Spartans (27-5, 15-3), approx. 6:30 p.m.

Much is at stake in Asheville, as the top four seeds all advanced to this evening’s semifinals. Bubble fans nationwide want Wofford to keep winning, while the winner of the second semifinal between UNCG and Furman will see its theoretical shot at an at-large remain intact with a win.

Naturally, Wofford swept ETSU this season, while the 2 vs. 3 game will resolve a good, old fashioned home split.

MAAC Semifinals

No. 5 Siena Saints (17-15, 11-7) vs. No. 1 Iona Gaels (15-15, 12-6), 6 p.m. (ESPN3)
No. 6 Monmouth Hawks (12-21, 10-8) vs. No. 2 Canisius Golden Griffins (15-16, 11-7), approx. 8:30 p.m. (ESPNU)

There will be no such bubble drama in Albany, but Iona will need to win a virtual road game against Siena to keep its hopes for a fourth-straight NCAA bid alive. While the pair split their season series, the Gaels won in the Times-Union Center on February 13th, 57-52. As for the late game, Canisius is aiming for a third win over Monmouth this season.

CAA Quarterfinals

CAA.tv will stream all four games.

No. 8 James Madison Dukes (14-18, 6-12) vs. No. 1 Hofstra Pride (25-6, 15-3), 12 p.m.
No. 5 Delaware Fighting Blue Hens (16-15, 8-10) vs. No. 4 William & Mary Tribe (14-16, 10-8), approx. 2:30 p.m.
No. 10 UNCW Seahawks (10-22, 5-13) vs. No. 2 Northeastern Huskies (20-10, 14-4), 6 p.m.
No. 6 Drexel Dragons (13-18, 7-11) vs. No. 3 College of Charleston Cougars (23-8, 12-6), approx. 8:30 p.m.

Top-seeded Hofstra might be in for a difficult matchup this afternoon in North Charleston, S.C., as James Madison defeated the Pride by five after overtime in Hempstead on February 23rd. In fact, only second-seeded Northeastern managed to defeat its quarterfinal opponent twice this season.

Summit Quarterfinals, Night Two

Midco SN will air both games. ESPN+ ($) will stream both games.

No. 5 Oral Roberts Golden Eagles (11-20, 7-9) vs. No. 4 North Dakota State Bison (15-15, 9-7), 7 p.m.
No. 6 South Dakota Coyotes (13-16, 7-9) vs. No. 3 Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons (17-14, 9-7), approx. 9:30 p.m.

Tonight’s quarterfinal doubleheader is unlikely to match the drama of Saturday’s. First, the eighth-seeded Western Illinois Leathernecks eliminated Mike Daum and the rest of the top-seeded South Dakota State Jackrabbits, 79-76. Then, the second-seeded Omaha Mavericks escaped the No. 7 seed, the North Dakota Fighting Hawks, 81-76. NDSU can defeat ORU for a third time tonight, while the nightcap will settle the season series between Purdue Fort Wayne and South Dakota.
