Two teams in the lower half of the ACC standings look to begin their February schedules on an upswing when Georgia Tech visits Boston College on Sunday. The host Eagles nearly knocked off Virginia Tech on Wednesday, but Jerome Robinson’s potential game-winning shot rimmed out before Boston College fell 85-80 in overtime, while the Yellow Jackets were snapping a four-game losing streak with a 55-51 home triumph over Syracuse.

Although it is only one game out of first place in the Big Ten, Ohio State seems unlikely to overtake the conference leaders anytime soon. With a showdown looming during the middle of next week at No. 3 Purdue, the 18th-ranked Buckeyes hope to remain within striking distance of the Boilermakers on Sunday when they wrap a four-game homestand against Illinois.

No. 1 Villanova has become an offensive juggernaut, even without starting guard Phil Booth. The nation's third-best offensive team looks to complete another strong showing Sunday when it hosts Seton Hall in Big East action.

Maryland looks to end its longest losing skid of the season when it hosts Wisconsin on Sunday. The Terrapins have dropped three straight games, including a 75-67 setback to third-ranked Purdue on Wednesday to fall out of the NCAA Tournament picture, and they hope to get back on track by knocking off the Badgers for the first time since Jan. 9, 2016.

Tulsa has won all five meetings in the series with South Florida by an average of 12 points, including a 79-67 triumph in Tampa last January. The Bulls are hoping to end that streak and post their most wins in a season (nine) since 2014-15 when they host the Golden Hurricane on Sunday afternoon in an American Athletic Conference contest.

Coming off two big wins, including an overtime upset of No. 16 Wichita State, Temple looks to keep the momentum going when it heads to Tulane on Sunday in an American Athletic Conference matchup. The Owls were drubbed 75-42 at Cincinnati on Jan. 24 but thumped Connecticut 85-57 before taking down the Shockers 81-79 in overtime on Thursday.

Arizona State will try to locate its early-season form when the 23rd-ranked Sun Devils visit Washington State for a Pac-12 game on Sunday afternoon. Arizona State went 12-0 in non-conference play, but hasn't won two in a row in the Pac-12 - most recently losing at Washington on Thursday night.
