Wake Forest appears to have fixed whatever had gone wrong over its first five game - and that's bad news for Army as these two teams face off Friday night in Winston-Salem, N.C. The Demon Deacons have reeled off four consecutive victories after opening the season with losses in four of their first five games, and are coming off an 80-57 rout of Charlotte.

Off to its best start since 1980-81, No. 17 Arizona State faces St. John’s on Friday as part of the Hall of Fame Classic tripleheader at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The up-tempo Sun Devils are averaging 92.7 points but will be tested by a stingy St. John’s defense that has held opponents to 60.0 points per game on 36.1 percent shooting.

A half-court heave at the buzzer last Friday by Boise State’s Lexus Williams ended Oregon’s home win streak at a national-best 46 games. Now, a week later, the Ducks will try to start a new streak when they host Colorado State on Friday night. 

With all five starters returning from a team that set a school-record with 26 victories and made a surprising run to the round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament, the USC Trojans looked like a sleeper team to make it to their first Final Four since 1954. But the 25th-ranked Trojans will be trying to avoid a three-game losing streak when they face Oklahoma and freshman sensation Trae Young on Friday night in the Basketball Hall of Fame's Hoophall L.A. Classic at nearby Staples Center.
