Preview Roundups
January 24, 2017
Auburn at South Carolina 6:30 PM ET
No. 24 South Carolina looks to start a new winning streak in SEC play when it hosts Auburn on Tuesday, three days after suffering its first conference defeat at fourth-ranked Kentucky. The Gamecocks, who were short-handed in that loss to the Wildcats, hope sophomore guard P.J. Dozier can play Tuesday after missing the Kentucky game with back spasms.
Rutgers at Maryland 7:00 PM ET
Maryland, back in the Top 25 for the first time in nearly two months, looks to solidify its standing with a victory in Tuesday's Big Ten matchup against visiting Rutgers. The No. 23 Terrapins won four straight and 10 of their last 11 games, and are poised for their best 20-game start since the end of the last century.
Purdue at Michigan St 7:00 PM ET
Michigan State isn't as strong as in recent seasons but has a chance to begin altering that impression when it hosts No. 20 Purdue on Tuesday in Big Ten play. The Spartans have lost three of their last four games and are tied for fifth place in the conference but coach Tom Izzo is well-known for getting his players to improve as a season deepens.
Louisville at Pittsburgh 7:00 PM ET
Upon giving up a KFC Yum! Center-record 43 points to Jamel Artis less than two weeks ago, Louisville coach Rick Pitino likened the effort of the Pittsburgh senior sharpshooter that night to a "Steph Curry performance." The 14th-ranked Cardinals will attempt to do a better job of bottling up the ACC's top scorer Tuesday as they eye a regular-season sweep and a 10th straight win over the struggling Panthers.
Kansas at West Virginia 7:00 PM ET
With perhaps the toughest two-week, regular-season stretch in coach Bill Self’s 14 years at Kansas approaching, the top-ranked Jayhawks seek a 19th straight victory at No. 18 West Virginia on Tuesday when they begin a three-game stretch against ranked opponents. Kansas, which is undefeated in Big 12 play and holds a one-game lead over Baylor, has another road game Saturday at No. 4 Kentucky before returning to Lawrence to host No. 5 Baylor on Feb.1 in a game that could be for the conference lead
Virginia at Notre Dame 8:00 PM ET

For Notre Dame to remain among the pack at the top of the ACC standings, it will have to do something it hasn’t in nearly 36 years – beat Virginia. The 12th-ranked Fighting Irish aim to snap a nine-game losing streak against the 13th-ranked Cavaliers – and remain unbeaten at home – on Tuesday. 

Wake Forest at Syracuse 8:00 PM ET
Fresh off its first ACC road win in three year, Wake Forest will look to make it two in a row when it travels to Syracuse on Tuesday. The Demon Deacons have won two in a row — including the slump-busting victory — while the Orange return home after two straight losses to ranked teams last week.
Villanova at Marquette 8:00 PM ET
After suffering its only loss since last season's Big East tournament, Villanova has won five straight games - all by double digits. That run began with a home victory against Marquette, and the Golden Eagles will be out for revenge Tuesday when they host the second-ranked Wildcats.
Arkansas at Vanderbilt 8:30 PM ET
It's difficult to know which team has more momentum - the one that has reeled off three consecutive wins, or the one coming off a stunning road victory over a nationally ranked team. Fans will get their answer Tuesday night when red-hot Arkansas visits giant-killer Vanderbilt in an SEC clash.
Kentucky at Tennessee 9:00 PM ET
Fourth-ranked Kentucky may be without talented point guard De’Aaron Fox when it visits dangerous Tennessee for an SEC matchup on Tuesday night. Fox, who is dishing out a league-best six assists per game, suffered an ankle injury in Saturday’s 85-69 victory over South Carolina and is considered day-to-day as the Wildcats go for their eighth consecutive win to start the conference slate.
Penn St. at Wisconsin 9:00 PM ET
No. 15 Wisconsin hopes to have a bit of a breather after an emotional victory on the road when it comes home to take on Penn State in a Big Ten clash Tuesday night. The Badgers have won three straight and 12 of their last 13 after grinding out a 78-76 overtime triumph at Minnesota on Saturday as sophomore forward Ethan Happ recorded a career-high 28 points with 12 rebounds and six assists.
Tulane at Houston 9:00 PM ET
Houston tries to get its offense back on track when it hosts Tulane in an American Athletic Conference game Tuesday. The Cougars have not only lost three straight but struggled to score and clearly miss the inside presence of Devin Davis, sidelined for the past six weeks with two separate injuries.
Kansas St. at Iowa St. 9:00 PM ET
Kansas State will try to build upon its biggest win of the season when it visits Iowa State on Tuesday for a pivotal Big 12 matchup. The teams enter the contest tied for third in the conference at 4-3, and the Wildcats are climbing fast with two straight wins, including Saturday's comeback 79-75 upset of then-No. 8 West Virginia.
