Preview Roundups
November 27, 2016
Howard at Georgetown 1:30 PM ET
You won't find many people who head to Hawaii and come home disappointed, but that's exactly what happened to Georgetown, which entered the Maui Invitational with high hopes but settled for a fourth-place showing. The Hoyas will look to improve upon a dreadful effort in the third-place game against Oklahoma State as they host Howard on Sunday in the opener of a four-game homestand.
Iowa St. at Gonzaga 1:30 PM ET
Despite its Pacific Northwest roots, Gonzaga appears to be right at home every time it makes the trip to the AdvoCare Invitational at Lake Buena Vista, Fla. The 11th-ranked Bulldogs attempt to win this event for the third time in as many tries Sunday when they face No. 22 Iowa State in the first meeting between the schools.
Wofford at Colorado 2:00 PM ET

Following its third-place finish in the Legends Classic in Brooklyn, Colorado returns home Sunday to host Wofford and is looking to add to its 11-game Coors Event Center win streak. Overall, the Buffaloes have won 21 of their last 22 games on their home floor, dropping only a 56-54 decision to Utah last Jan. 8.

Prairie View A&M at Wisconsin 2:00 PM ET
Wisconsin failed its biggest test of the young season, but Sunday's matchup with visiting Prairie View A&M should provide a good opportunity to get back in the win column. The 14th-ranked Badgers made the final of the Maui Invitational before shooting issues and rebounding struggles proved decisive in a 71-56 setback to No. 4 North Carolina.
Mississippi Valley State at Indiana 4:00 PM ET
No. 5 Indiana tries to get back on the winning track after suffering its first loss of the season when it hosts Mississippi Valley State in a non-conference matchup Sunday afternoon. The Hoosiers were upset by Fort Wayne last week for their first loss of the season, which means the winless Delta Devils will have an even harder time of it in this one.
Virginia Tech at Nebraska 4:00 PM ET
Virginia Tech and Nebraska had different experiences during the semifinals of the Wooden Legacy, but the results were the same, and Sunday they'll meet in the third-place game at Honda Center in Anaheim. Virginia Tech led nearly the entire game and by as many as 17 points before losing 68-65 to Texas A&M, a few hours before Nebraska pushed around No. 13 UCLA but couldn't match its talent in the 82-71 loss.
Miami-Florida at Florida 4:30 PM ET
Florida and Miami (Fla.) have only played six times since 1991 despite their proximity to each other and do not have any more upcoming meetings scheduled, so fate had to play a role in getting the schools to face each other in three consecutive seasons for the first time since 1986-88. The Hurricanes aim to continue their recent domination in the series Sunday when they meet the Gators in the third-place game of the AdvoCare Invitational at Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
UAB at St. Mary's 5:00 PM ET
Running off long winning streaks to start a season is nothing new for No. 15 Saint Mary's, which can open 5-0 for the third consecutive year by defeating UAB Sunday in Las Vegas. Aside from a four-point victory at Dayton, the Gaels have barely been tested, winning their other three games by an average margin of 24.3 points.
San Jose St. at Washington St. 6:00 PM ET
Washington State will try to clean up its turnovers when it returns home to face San Jose State on Sunday. The Cougars, who haven't played at home since their season opener on Nov. 11, went 1-2 for a sixth-place finish at the Paradise Jam.
Stanford at Seton Hall 7:00 PM ET
Seton Hall is among the best offensive teams in the country thanks to rapid ascension of Khadeen Carrington as the leading scorer in the Big East. Coming off his worst game of the season, the high-scoring junior guard figures to receive his stiffest test yet as Stanford brings one of the better scoring defenses in the country to the fifth-place game of the AdvoCare Invitational at Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
Southeastern Louisiana at California 8:00 PM ET
Washington’s Markelle Fultz remains the heavy favorite to win Pac-12 freshman of the year honors, but California guard Charlie Moore is showing he belongs in the race. Moore looks to build on his hot start Sunday as the Bears host Southeastern Louisiana, which snapped a 19-game non-conference losing streak last week against UTEP.
Texas A&M at UCLA 8:30 PM ET
The only weakness No. 13 UCLA seems to have this season is strength down low and the Bruins figure to be tested Sunday against Texas A&M in the championship game of the Wooden Legacy at Honda Center in Anaheim. UCLA showed that vulnerability in an 82-71 victory against Nebraska in Friday's semifinals, and the Aggies figure to bring the same type of physicality.
UC Santa Barbara at Southern California 10:00 PM ET
USC coach Andy Enfield is pleased with the play of his young freshman during the Trojans’ undefeated start, but was most pleased Friday by the play of Bennie Boatwright during a quality victory over SMU. USC seeks its first 6-0 start since 2000-01 when it wraps up a six-game homestead against winless UC Santa Barbara on Sunday.
