Preview Roundups
March 01, 2016
Kentucky at Florida 7:00 PM ET
No. 19 Kentucky and Florida will both be looking to get back on the winning track when the SEC rivals meet in Gainesville on Tuesday night. SEC co-leader Kentucky has lost two of its last three games while the Gators have lost three in a row and five out of seven to put their hopes of earning an NCAA Tournament berth in serious jeopardy.
Tennessee at Vanderbilt 7:00 PM ET
Vanderbilt tries to keep its drive for an NCAA Tournament berth alive when it hosts Tennessee in an SEC contest Tuesday. The Commodores are coming off an upset of Kentucky and are squarely on the bubble for Big Dance consideration, while the Volunteers will need to string together some wins in a hurry to have any hopes for the postseason.
Virginia at Clemson 7:00 PM ET
No. 4 Virginia will try to keep alive its chances to win a third straight ACC regular-season crown when it visits Clemson on Tuesday. The Cavaliers enter Tuesday a game behind Miami (Fla.) and 1 1/2 back of North Carolina, but they own the tiebreaker over the Tar Heels after a 79-74 triumph in their meeting in Charlottesville on Saturday.
DePaul at Villanova 7:00 PM ET
No. 2 Villanova can clinch the Big East regular-season title outright Tuesday in a home affair with DePaul. The Wildcats currently can do no worse than share the league crown with Xavier, which topped Villanova last week, but a win in either of their last two games would leave the Wildcats alone at the top of the standings for the third straight season.
Baylor at Oklahoma 8:00 PM ET
Oklahoma’s chances for a second-place finish in the Big 12 and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament took a big hit over the weekend, but there is still a week left in the regular season. The sixth-ranked Sooners will try to bounce back when they host No. 17 Baylor in a battle for third place in the conference on Tuesday.
Wake Forest at Duke 8:00 PM ET

There have been some signs of life of late, but some of the numbers continue to add up in troubling fashion for Duke. The 18th-ranked Blue Devils were dominated by Pittsburgh 76-62 on Sunday – the program’s record-tying eighth loss this season as a ranked team – and will try to rebound Tuesday with a home game against lowly Wake Forest.

Purdue at Nebraska 8:00 PM ET

Purdue's win over Maryland on Saturday was significant on many levels -- it was the Boilermakers' second victory over a Top 10 team in February, it was their 16th win at home and they avenged a loss to the Terrapins earlier in the month -- but most importantly it proved that the team has the mental toughness that could carry them deep into the NCAA Tournament. Unlike last year when they were fighting for an NCAA Tournament berth, the 13th-ranked Boilermakers are sol

Georgia Tech at Louisville 8:00 PM ET
When Louisville secured a hard-fought 75-71 victory at Georgia Tech just over a month ago, the Cardinals had the look of a team capable of winning the ACC regular-season title and making a deep run in March. As the teams reconvene on Tuesday, however, neither dream appears to be a realistic outcome anymore for the Cardinals in their home finale.
Missouri at Louisiana State 9:00 PM ET

Missouri gets its last chance this season to snap its lengthy road losing streak when it travels to LSU for a Southeastern Conference matchup on Tuesday. The stakes are even higher for LSU, which is one game behind Kentucky and Texas A&M for first place in the SEC and can’t afford another loss if it wants to keep alive its NCAA Tournament hopes.

Texas A&M at Auburn 9:00 PM ET
Texas A&M starts the final week of the regular season tied atop the SEC standings with Kentucky but has little room for error as it visits Auburn on Tuesday. The No. 18 Aggies own the tiebreaker over Kentucky but three more teams are one game back of the leaders.
Indiana at Iowa 9:00 PM ET
No. 11 Indiana has clinched a share of the Big Ten regular-season title while No. 15 Iowa is sliding in the wrong direction as the teams prepare to meet in Tuesday's contest in Iowa City. The Hoosiers have won four of their last five contests and hold a two-game lead in the conference while the Hawkeyes dropped four of their past five outings and are part of a four-way tie for second place.
Georgetown at Marquette 9:00 PM ET
Likely on the outside looking in for an NCAA Tournament berth, Marquette will play its final regular season home game Tuesday against a struggling Georgetown squad. The Golden Eagles had won back-to-back Big East games before their typical inconsistent play did them in Saturday at home against No. 1 Villanova.
Grand Canyon at St. Mary's 10:00 PM ET
Saint Mary's, fresh off clinching its third West Coast Conference title in the last six years, hosts Grand Canyon on Tuesday in what shapes up to be a non-conference tune-up for this weekend's WCC tournament. The No. 24 Gaels completed their WCC regular season with an 84-72 victory in San Francisco on Saturday to finish tied for first with Gonzaga at 15-3, but swept the Bulldogs to earn the No. 1 seed in the conference tournament.
