Preview Roundups
February 21, 2016
Seton Hall at St. John's 12:00 PM ET
If Seton Hall is to be taken seriously for a berth in the NCAA Tournament, then Sunday's Big East game against St. John's at Madison Square Garden is a must win. The Pirates bounced back from a home loss to Butler by holding Georgetown to 37.7-percent shooting, and a repeat of the 79-60 win over the Red Storm in January would put them on the cusp of their second 20-win season in the last 12 years.
Michigan at Maryland 1:00 PM ET
Fifth-ranked Maryland looks to bounce back from its most disappointing loss of the season when it hosts Michigan on Sunday. The Terrapins' hopes of securing their first Big Ten title since joining the conference in 2014-15 took a major blow following a shocking 68-63 defeat to lowly Minnesota, which left them one game behind No. 21 Indiana and sixth-ranked Iowa with four contests remaining.
Tulsa at Central Florida 2:00 PM ET
One of the hottest teams in the American Athletic Conference, Tulsa looks to earn its fourth win in five games when its travels to face UCF on Sunday. The Golden Hurricane are hoping to climb up in the league standings, as they sit a game and a half behind first-place Temple entering Sunday's play, while the Knights are just hoping to end a four-game losing streak.
East Carolina at Southern Methodist 2:00 PM ET

SMU’s fast and furious 18-0 start has slowed considerably of late with the Mustangs losing four of their last seven games. Larry Brown’s bunch, ineligible for postseason play due to NCAA violations, now is aiming to regroup for a regular-season-ending run, beginning with Sunday’s home date with East Carolina.

Utah at Southern California 6:00 PM ET
Utah, coming off its first ever victory at UCLA's famed Pauley Pavilion on Thursday, will try to complete a sweep of its Los Angeles road trip in Pac-12 Conference play when it faces USC on Sunday afternoon. The Trojans, one of the top turnaround stories in college basketball, improved to 15-0 at the Galen Center this season when they rallied to defeat Colorado, 79-72, on Wednesday.
Boston College at Wake Forest 6:30 PM ET
Something has to give when teams with double-digit losing streaks meet Sunday as Boston College visits Wake Forest. The Eagles have lost a school-record 13 straight games, breaking the tie with the 1999-2000 team with Wednesday’s loss at Clemson, while the Demon Deacons have dropped 11 in a row, and to make matters worse, will be without star forward Devin Thomas for the next two games.
Temple at Houston 7:00 PM ET
Temple lost to both North Carolina and Villanova when each opponent was ranked No. 1, but neither loss was as ugly as the Owls' defeat against Houston earlier this season. Temple seeks a bit of revenge Sunday when it visits the Cougars in a key American Athletic Conference game.
Illinois at Wisconsin 7:30 PM ET
Despite its first loss in over a month Thursday, Wisconsin has managed to transform itself from a team that appeared destined to post its first losing record since 1997-98 following the departure of former coach Bo Ryan to a likely NCAA Tournament team under interim coach Greg Gard. The Badgers eye their eighth win in the last nine games Sunday when they host Illinois.
California at Washington St. 8:30 PM ET
California may have found the perfect cure for its road woes in the Evergreen State. Days after edging Washington for their first Pac-12 win away from Haas Pavilion in over a year, the Bears can keep their conference title hopes alive Sunday by completing a rare road sweep with a win over last-place Washington State.
