Note: Before the breakdown by Quadrant, you’ll find a lineup broken down by telecast window. Within each window, I’ve listed games by tip time with the quadrants on the left.

Reminders of the different groupings are in the table below.

All NET rankings are from the NCAA’s website and reflect games played against D1 opposition only through Tuesday, March 3, 2020. Records reflect all games played through the same date. All times are Eastern.

Chronological Schedule

Quad 1 For Both Teams (1/1: 3 Games)

Top 30 at Top 75

14. Villanova Wildcats (22-7, 11-5 T2nd Big East) at 12. Seton Hall Pirates (21-7, 13-3 1st), 8:30 p.m. (FS1)
The Pirates can clinch the No. 1 seed in the Big East Tournament with a repeat of their 70-64 win over the Wildcats of February 8th.

11. Florida State Seminoles (24-5, 14-4 2nd ACC) at 59. Notre Dame Fighting Irish (18-11, 9-9 T6th), 9 p.m. (ESPN2)
The Seminoles can get themselves back into a tie for the ACC lead with a win in South Bend, and with FSU’s sweep of Louisville, it has the edge for the No. 1 seed in Greensboro next week. As for the Fighting Irish, a win over the Noles would be their best victory by far.

3. Dayton Flyers (27-2, 16-0 1st A 10) at 52. Rhode Island Rams (20-8, 12-4 3rd), 9 p.m. (CBSSN)
On February 11th, Dayton took care of Rhode Island, 81-67, but the stakes are a bit higher tonight for the Rams, who are on the wrong side of the cut line after Sunday’s home loss to Saint Louis. Ending the Flyers’ dreams of a perfect A 10 season and No. 1 NCAA seed would do wonders for Rhody’s prospects.

Quad 2 For Host/Quad 1 For Visitor (2/1: 5 Games)

31–75 at Top 75

41. Xavier Musketeers (19-10, 8-8 T5th Big East) at 44. Providence Friars (17-12, 10-6 4th), 6:30 p.m. (FS1)
31. LSU Tigers (20-9, 11-5 T2nd SEC) at 47. Arkansas Razorbacks (18-11, 6-10 T10th), 7 p.m. (SECN)
45. Minnesota Golden Gophers (13-15, 7-11 12th Big Ten) at 54. Indiana Hoosiers (18-11, 8-10 11th Big Ten), 7 p.m. (BTN)
66. St. John’s Red Storm (15-14, 4-12 9th Big East) at 20. Butler Bulldogs (20-9, 8-8 T5th), 7 p.m. (CBSSN)
62. Georgetown Hoyas (15-14, 5-11 8th Big East) at 13. Creighton Bluejays (22-7, 11-5 T2nd), 8 p.m. (FSN)

Beyond Nova-Seton Hall, it’s a pretty important night in the Big East race. For starters, Creighton needs a win over Georgetown and Villanova win over Seton Hall to have any chance at stealing a share from the conference title from the Pirates. Providence still has a shot at the three seed, while Xavier and Butler are both playing to avoid a Wednesday opener. However, with Marquette losing at DePaul on Tuesday, both teams received a boost on the front. In the Big Ten, Indiana has dropped two straight and needs to sweep Minnesota to improve its chances to avoid having to play on Wednesday in Indianapolis. As for Arkansas, with Tennessee, South Carolina, and Mississippi State all above them in the bubble pecking order, a win over LSU in Fayetteville would be extremely helpful. Plus, the Razorbacks are in danger of dropping into next Wednesday’s SEC Tournament first round.

Quad 2 For Both Teams (2/2: 3 Games)

31–75 at 76–135

34. Florida Gators (18-11, 10-6 4th SEC) at 84. Georgia Bulldogs (15-14, 5-11 T12th), 7 p.m. (ESPNU)
72. Clemson Tigers (15-13, 9-9 T6th ACC) at 87. Virginia Tech Hokies (15-14, 6-12 T11th), 7 p.m. (ACCN)
48. Virginia Cavaliers (21-7, 13-5 4th ACC) at 108. Miami (Fla.) Hurricanes (14-14, 6-12 T11th), 9 p.m. (ACCN)

The Gators and Cavaliers, currently relatively safely in the field, and Tigers, on the outside looking in, will look to avoid stubbing their toes on the road tonight. Florida has the biggest challenge, in my opinion, particularly coming off a Saturday loss at Tennessee.

Quad 3 For Host/Quad 1 For Visitor (3/1: 2 Games)

76–160 at Top 75

123. Texas A&M Aggies (14-14, 8-8 8th SEC) at 28. Auburn Tigers (24-5, 11-5 T2nd), 7 p.m. (ESPN2)
92. TCU Horned Frogs (16-13, 7-9 7th Big 12) at 1. Kansas Jayhawks (26-3, 15-1 1st), 8 p.m. (ESPN+ ($))

Both Auburn and Kansas should pick up comfortable home wins tonight.

Quad 2 For Host/Quad 3 For Visitor (2/3: 1 Game)

31–75 at 136–240

56. Saint Louis Billikens (21-8, 10-6 5th A 10) at 161. George Mason Patriots (15-14, 4-12 12th), 7 p.m. (ESPN+ ($))

The Billikens are one of three six-loss teams in the hunt for the final quarterfinal bye at the Atlantic 10 Tournament. The Duquesne Dukes won last night, while the St. Bonaventure Bonnies will be favored against the Saint Joseph’s Hawks this evening.

Quad 3 For Host/Quad 2 For Visitor (3/2: 1 Game)

76–160 at 76–135

82. Tulsa Golden Hurricane (20-9, 12-4 T1st AAC) at 112. Temple Owls (14-15, 6-10 8th), 7 p.m. (ESPN3)

With a win, the Golden Hurricane will move a half-game up on Houston for first place with the Cougars visiting UConn on Thursday.

Quad 4 For Host/Quad 1 For Visitor (4/1: 1 Game)

161–353 at Top 75

175. Northwestern Wildcats (7-21, 2-16 T13th Big Ten) at 27. Wisconsin Badgers (19-10, 12-6 T3rd), 9 p.m. (BTN)

Incredibly, with a win tonight, the Badgers will move into a three-way tie at the top of the Big Ten with the Michigan State Spartans and Maryland Terrapins.

Quad 3 For Both Teams (3/3: 1 Game)

76–160 at 136–240

90. North Texas Mean Green (20-10, 14-3 1st C-USA) at 178. Charlotte 49ers (15-12, 9-7 T4th), 7 p.m. (CBS Sports on Facebook Live)

The Mean Green have already secured the top seed in next week’s Conference USA Tournament. As for the 49ers, they could still earn either the 4 or 5 seed. North Texas defeated Charlotte 81-72 in Denton on February 13th.
